3-D, no glasses

There’s rarely occasion to think of the Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer, Phil Hartman’s “Saturday Night Live” character who won juries’ hearts by contrasting his bafflement at modern technology with his certainty that his client was innocent. If there ever was occasion to think of this Neanderthal, it’s the release of the Nintendo 3DS. If the Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer was “distracted by the tiny people in this magic box” when seeing a TV, he’d break his fingers against the screen of the 3DS.

That’s because the 3DS employs a technology known as autostereoscopy, more simply known as “Oh my God, this is in 3-D but I’m not wearing those stupid glasses.”
