3-D Smartphones ditch the glasses

Nintendo has plans to release the first 3 dimensional piece of technology that can be used without a special type of glasses. HTC has also recently released a 3D phone. The phone will be similar to the already released EVO but consumers will be able to view videos and capture photos in 3D. Nintendo's 3DS also has a pair of cameras for capturing scenes in 3-D, and it works quite well. Nintendo assumed that they would have competition after they released plans for a 3D gadget, but they aren't worried about it. They say that since they have better 3D games their product will be the obvious consumer choice. Some of the obstacles these 3D gadgets face is that some of the products do require users to wear the tacky glasses and some of the products have poor camera capabilities.

  1. This is interesting. I have never heard of this. Technology is changing rapidly. I know i hate to wear glasses when playing video games and this might be a hassle. other than that right now this is a great movement.

  2. Funny thing is that i wanted to get a Nintendo 3DS just because of the 3D screen. I want to see if it actually projects a true 3D image. I really can't imagine it happening without any glasses.
