OMG! Texts in 3-D?

That's right, it looks like we are soon going to have 3-D at our fingertips. CNN.com reported that LG has announced a plan to release a 3-D phone at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. LG is calling the smartphone the Optimus 3D. Not only will you be able to see things in 3-D but, a special pair of cameras on the back of the phone will allow users to capture pictures and video in 3-D.

















No worry for those of you who like 3-D but, don't like to wear the glasses. An interesting part of this phone is that it uses a method called the "switchblade barrier" which makes the glasses obsolete. With the growing popularity of 3-D it's not really surprising that there is a 3-D phone in the works. The phone will be able to be hooked to a 3-D TV so pictures and videos taken can be displayed on the big screen. This brings a whole new aspect to home videos. The phone caused some excitement at the Mobile World Conference but so far does not allow for spinning text messages or dial pads that jump off the screen.
Just when you think you get caught up with the latest technology, something new comes along. You might have a smartphone but there's usually gong to be someone with a smarter phone. While I am all about trying to keep up with the latest technology, this phone just doesn't jump out at me. I don't think there are any 3-D texts in my future.

This is so ridiculous. Why would you possibly need a phone in 3D? Tech companies are just trying to find ways to suck more money out of consumers.

I guess the 3d camera capabilities are cool also it is good this phone does not require the so uncomfortable 3d glasses. i guess 3d is hot right now, but to me it is just not well developed for people to start buying these type of technologies right now, or whenever they will release it.

This amazes me at how more and more discoveries are made everyday. 3D text blows my mind. I’m very curious as to how this will work and come about in away that picture message will be added to the text conversation. I’m not to big on seeing words in 3-D but pictures, that’s the way to go!!!

I have to say that in my opinion this is a little ridiculous. I mean is it really neccessary to have a phone where you see it in 3-D and can text in 3-D. I also have to say that this is something that I will never get because iI believe it is useless for this.

Yes, this is just a bit ridiculos. I think that the entire notion of 3-D is a bit ridiculos. For me it doesn't really add anything to the experience. In my opinion once the novelty wears off 3-D , it's a trend that is going to fade out when something new comes along.

There is so much technology that no one can keep up with it, but somehow someway, people will get their hands on it. Just like the Best Buy commercial when people were buying the newest technology and something better just came out at the same time, it's crazy. I won't be surprised when other companies will make something bigger and better than the 3-D phone.
