This guy. Same idea as the DSi 3D.
He now works for Microsoft on Project Natal.

From what I understand the 3DS will use eye-tracking very similar to Johnny Lee's head tracking, which means it shoud be pretty cool if it's implemented well. And considering how well-done a unit the DS is, I have faith it will be.
Storm Rider:
OK, I'm definitely intrigued by this announcement. Here's my real concern: will this thing have at least one analog stick? With the DS, most games are 2D because 1) it's cheaper to do, and 2) the 3D graphic engines on DS look like shit. If it really is equivalent to the Gamecube hardware in graphical power, then I have to imagine that there will be a lot more games with polygonal graphics. If this hardware transition means that an increasing number of games will be in 3D, a d-pad will be a really limited method of control for that. There's talk of a '3D joystick' in the patent, which concerns me because I'm not sure how conducive that will be to a handheld device, and games that use 'virtual controls' on touch-based devices almost universally work like crap.
I'm interested in the potential but also skeptical. For the moment, I'm willing to give Nintendo the benefit of the doubt because the DS seemed gimmicky and dumb when it was first announced too.
Boro_Bandito:
All these features are well and good, but in the end its all worth shit unless you can see it. It's really time for Nintendo to think about giving us a larger screen to look at. If they can do that then it might be something I can play on for more than half an hour before getting a headache. And I can't buy a PSP dammit, I just can't. Alright now I'm just being bitchy.
JD:
Get some glasses old man.
