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.
