Posted December 31, 2005 Nintendo patented the "Nintendo Floor Vision" in the Japanese patent office last month. Sadly that's all the information I have but maybe it his something to do with the last secret of the Revo... Source gamefront.de Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 31, 2005 Wow thats alot of patents coming from Nintendo....im still more interested in the imaging patent people were talking about a few months back, which with just a little constant movement makes objects appear outside of the screen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 31, 2005 Wait a minute, Nintendo used this in the Zelda booth at E3. Remember those pictures of fish going round on the floor?

It's as if the floor is a huge touch screen. If this would be the Revo's final secret, I wonder how the hell they're going to do this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 31, 2005 maybe the blue light around the disc slot is actually a mini projector and the images on the floor will be emitted by it. that would be cool, obviously not true though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 31, 2005 That thing on E3 wasn't done by Nintendo, but by another company, so they can't patent exctly that. Besides, what would you do with it in a game? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 31, 2005 Has anyone played Donkey Konga with people in the room downstairs? Now imagine stomping your feet instead. Parents would chuck you out. I'd imagine its more for trade show use rather than the Revolution. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 31, 2005 i think there might be some kind of projection feature in the rev ,say if the rev has a projector it might be 3D like star wars for an example Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 31, 2005 just a stupid thought which wont work. maybe theres a projector in the rev that goes straight into your eyes, this then goes into your brain, and you feel imersed into the game, like it will feel 4D. hehe stupid idea Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 31, 2005 Oh good grief, stop with the 4D crap already! Current games are 3D models viewed on a 2D screen, if you get into holography/projection systems of some kind it's still only 3D graphics, just experienced in 3D. Just because it's no longer viewed on a TV screen doesn't suddenly add another dimension on top. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 31, 2005 OK, for starters that floor is created by a projector from a ceiling, there are then motion detectors that can tell where there are "obstructions" and create suitable responses in the projection. That makes a possible touch sensitive LCD floorplate a little bit of a reach, which is what some people are most likely thinking of, it would seem. It does make an interesting concept, though, if that was what Nintendo were aiming for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 1, 2006 theres something like that at my local mall, where all the ads appear in objects and the kids stomp on them to clean the screen. is this really the "Nintendo Floor Vision"??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 2, 2006 Has anyone else seen this? It's dated May but I never seen that before. It's looks cool and if revo does graphics like that then I'm happy. There's a bit in there with the console monitoring your movements. Maybe that has something to do with floor vision. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=504189313028536512&q=nintendo%2Brevolution Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
