Nintendo has filed a patent with the US Patent Office for an eye-tracking device that will allow for 3D viewing on a standard 2D display. 

The device works by having the user wear glasses - possibly with the focus on mounted sensors as opposed to special lenses - and a camera which is placed by the TV. The user's head movement is then tracked by the camera to give the illusion that displayed objects exist in a three-dimensional space and provide a sense of depth to the image.

Strangely, notations in the patent also explore other possibilities for an immersive gaming experience, including the sense of smell and temperature control.

I doubt we will see this being used anytime soon.

 

Btw, isn`t this what the other guy did with the Wii remote?

Patents for ideas are filed all the time. It doesn't mean they will necessarily see reality.

Jhonny Chung tried to give this to nintendo like, 8 years ago.

The wii had so much potential it spectacularly failed to deliver on.

Nintendo files hundreds of patents and act almost none of them. They just file them as a just in case. Most of them never happen.
