Amazon is in the process of developing their own smartphones. The coolest thing about one of the high-end models is that it will reportedly integrate a new glasses-free 3D screen. The way that it would work is that there is a front facing camera that uses eye tracking software to create an image that moves in such a way that it appears to protrude from the screen. Think Star Wars style holograms that are only visible to the user of the phone. Unfortunately for us users, this is all still in the rumor stage at this point.
Amazon has long been a purveyor of every imaginable product, but in the past 3-5 years there have been a bunch of rumors that the company is moving into making their own products. I think if they are going to manufacture smartphones this would be a great way to start out on their venture.
I need to send a message to a certain Jedi requesting his aid and it won’t look the same in 2D. Help me Amazon, you are my only hope.
