20090069083 | Portable video game system - A hand-held display system for playing video games includes a housing grippable by a user's hands, a liquid crystal display viewable by the user gripping the housing, input devices operable by the user when the user grips the housing and a connector for, in use, operatively connecting to portable storage media storing video game programs for the video games. First processing circuitry processes video game programs having a first program specification and second processing circuitry processes video game programs having a second program specification. | 03-12-2009 |
20110292033 | HANDHELD ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A hand-held electronic device ( | 12-01-2011 |
20120108328 | HANDHELD INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND HANDHELD GAME APPARATUS - A game apparatus includes a stereoscopic image display device configured to display a stereoscopic image, which is stereoscopically visible by the naked eye, and a planar image display device configured to display a planar image. A touch panel is provided on a screen of the planar image display device. An image of a silhouette of an object in a virtual space is displayed on the planar image display device. The game apparatus causes the object in the virtual space to move according to a touch operation performed on the image of the silhouette displayed on the screen of the planar image display device, and stereoscopically displays the object on the stereoscopic image display device. | 05-03-2012 |
20120113228 | IMAGE DISPLAY SYSTEM, IMAGE DISPLAY APPARATUS, AND IMAGE DISPLAY METHOD - A hand-held image display apparatus includes a touch panel, a stereoscopic display apparatus, a first imaging section, and a second imaging section. The hand-held image display apparatus detects a marker from a real world image shot by at least one of the first imaging section and the second imaging section, and determines the relative positions of a virtual object and a pair of virtual cameras with respect to each other in a virtual space, based on the result of the detection. Then, the hand-held image display apparatus superimposes virtual space images drawn based on the first virtual camera and the second virtual camera, onto the real world images shot by the first imaging section and the second imaging section, and displays images that are stereoscopically visible by naked eyes, on the stereoscopic display apparatus. | 05-10-2012 |
20120133641 | HAND-HELD ELECTRONIC DEVICE - An upper LCD capable of displaying an image which is stereoscopically visible with naked eyes is provided on an upper housing of a hand-held electronic device. A 3D adjustment switch for adjusting a parallax of a stereoscopic image is provided on the upper housing. When a slider of the 3D adjustment switch is within a predetermined range between an uppermost position and a position slightly above a lowermost position, the stereoscopic effect of the stereoscopic image is adjusted based on the position of the slider. When the slider of the 3D adjustment switch is at the lowermost position, a planar image corresponding to the stereoscopic image is displayed on the upper LCD. | 05-31-2012 |
20120133642 | HAND-HELD ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A hand-held electronic device includes an upper housing and a lower housing which are foldable. An upper LCD capable of displaying an image which is stereoscopically visible with naked eyes is provided on an inner side surface of the upper housing. In addition, a 3D adjustment switch for adjusting a parallax of a stereoscopic image is provided on the upper housing. | 05-31-2012 |
20120242807 | HAND-HELD ELECTRONIC DEVICE - In a hand-held electronic device having a stereoscopic display section capable of displaying an image which is stereoscopically visible with naked eyes, a variety of functions are realized. A hand-held electronic device | 09-27-2012 |
20130201293 | IMAGE DISPLAY SYSTEM, IMAGE DISPLAY APPARATUS, AND IMAGE DISPLAY METHOD - A hand-held image display apparatus includes a touch panel, a stereoscopic display apparatus, a first imaging section, and a second imaging section. The hand-held image display apparatus detects a marker from a real world image shot by at least one of the first imaging section and the second imaging section, and determines the relative positions of a virtual object and a pair of virtual cameras with respect to each other in a virtual space, based on the result of the detection. Then, the hand-held image display apparatus superimposes virtual space images drawn based on the first virtual camera and the second virtual camera, onto the real world images shot by the first imaging section and the second imaging section, and displays images that are stereoscopically visible by naked eyes, on the stereoscopic display apparatus. | 08-08-2013 |
20140295965 | PORTABLE VIDEO GAME SYSTEM - An example display system for playing a video game includes a hand-holdable housing; a liquid crystal display; one or more input devices; a first boot ROM storing code that is executed if a video game program for the video game has a first specification; and a second boot ROM storing code that is executed if a video game program for the video game has a second specification. | 10-02-2014 |
