The lure of 3D video has drawn many gadget makers. In the post-“Avatar” world, it seemed like a good idea to bring that sort of realism into living rooms and pockets around the world. But, it hasn’t quite managed to catch fire with general consumers.
Not that it’s stopped folks from trying. And the latest company rumored to be taking on the 3D challenge is a big one: Amazon, which The Wall Street Journal says is working on a smartphone with a very advanced display. According to the report, the smartphone would have a hologram-like display shades, it seems, of “Star Wars” and may even let users track through the images using only their eyes.
Amazon did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the report.
While that goes beyond the kind of technology we’ve seen from major smartphone makers, Amazon would not be the first to introduce a smartphone with 3D capabilities.
