With 3D technology advancing quite rapidly, companies are
trying to find ways to further incorporate it into their products. It first
started with 3D televisions and then later to video games. Now, 3D technology
has reached mobile phones.
Smart phones have always been the most popular mobile
devices and now they will have 3D technology incorporated. The LG Optimus 3D is
just one of many 3D phones coming onto the market in the following months. With
so many phones on the market, it is going to be very tense few months after the
release for manufacturers to see whether the consumers accept their phones; is
it a gimmick, or will 3D smartphones play a role in day to day life? Let’s take
a closer look at the technology that these phones offer, so we can come to a
conclusion...
The first feature of the phone that will most likely be the deciding factor of
whether or not the new 3D phones succeed is the screen. The screen of the LG
Optimus 3D is 4.3 inch display with a resolution of 480 by 800 pixels. This is
standard among most smart phones and is more than sufficient for viewing mobile
content. The reason that users can view the 3D content without the need for
special glasses is that the screen incorporates the technology into it. The
phone emits two separate pictures that that the eye views at slightly different
angles. Since the eyes on a human are separated by a few inches, the eyes view
objects with a slightly different angles and the phone takes advantage of
this.
Not only is the screen of the phone 3D, but the camera on the phone can capture
video in 3D. With this feature, users can go around and take their own video
that later can be watched in 3D. With the HDMI out capabilities of this phone,
users can display their 3D videos onto compatible 3D televisions. This is
perfect for people that want to share their videos with friends or family and
want to be able to view it on a larger screen so that people do not have to
huddle around the phones screen.
One of the biggest things that will either make or break the phone is whether
the gaming on the phone gives a new and unique experience to users. As far as
most users can tell, the phone will feature a new and improved way users enjoy
their games. The 3D technology gives a new dimension to the immersion of gamers
into their favourite games. Also, the phone has a depth slider to increase or
decrease the intensity of the 3D display. The 3D effect has an off feature for
users that would rather play a certain game in 2D.
Overall, the LG Optimus 3D is just the beginning of 3D cell phones. There are
already several other phones that are releasing later in the year but LG gets
the credit for starting it all. With a number of new devices added each month,
it is increasingly difficult to come up with fresh new products that the public
will enjoy.
It would seem that 3D technology will prove popular among
those who are heavily into their multimedia, gaming and videos. Sales of the LG
Optimus 3D will be a good indicator of the future popularity of 3D smartphones
as it is the first to offer these cutting-edge specifications.
