If you think that my obsession with 3D is just a fantasy, wait until you see what's coming your way!

Most if not all display manufacturers are looking at ways to incorporate 3D Stereo technology into their products. It looks like the next outbreak of this exciting technology could very well be in cellphone displays.

From what I have heard, the big thing at Photokina was 3D!

If 3-D in movies make you sick and 3-D TVs seem out of this world for your living room, consider a 3-D cellphone.

It’s not that far-fetched. Nintendo has already debuted the Nintendo 3DS, a handheld game console that sports a 3.5-inch 3-D display — about the same size as modern smartphones. With fast graphics processing capabilities and a screen technology that can produce 3-D effects without requiring consumers to wear any special glasses, cellphones might just be the latest frontier for the third dimension.

“One hundred percent of handset manufacturers are evaluating 3-D behind the scenes,” says James Bower, president of MasterImage 3-D, a Burbank, California, company that makes 3-D displays. “Everyone wants a glasses-free 3-D experience.

The first 3-D cellphone could be available in the United States next year, he says.

As cellphone processors become more powerful and telecom carriers introduce 4G networks capable of transporting more data, 3-D could charm consumers who are looking for more entertainment and functionality from their handheld devices.

Last year, Japanese wireless carrier KDDI started selling the first commercially available 3-D cellphone, called the Hitachi Woo. More than 300,000 devices were sold in just a few weeks. The Woo’s 3-D display, powered by masterImage, uses a parallax barrier, a layer that’s placed over an LCD screen to help produce the feeling of depth by directing slightly different images to each eye.

And...

The latest high-tech and feature-rich mobile phone that should get launched on the Japanese market is the Hitachi-branded AU phone by KDDI Japanese cellular services dubbed WOO Ketai H001. The most impressive feature of this handset can be considered its 3D display, which can deliver games, photos and videos using the 3D technology.
