Listen, it doesn't matter what the tech used for viewing 3D is (Anaglyph, parallax, active shutter etc.) But it's always shot the SAME WAY!

@KidRobotXXIV You look at that part but don't bother to look at the comments below it. Sharp is the creator of the Glasses-Free 3D screen used in the next DS.

It blew up about a year and a half ago. Avatar marked the biggest advancement for 3D, and now everyone [Company Wise] wants to implant 3D into their devices. Which is fine by me because it is one step closer to holograms and two steps closer to augmented reality.

As for the reason why; I believe "because we can" is the most proper fit. If you don't want to use the 3D camera than you don't have too. Don't tell others to stop trying to make advancements in technology just because you don't see a need for it. There are tons of possibilities and we should try to expand on all of them. With 3D mobile viewing brings you Holograms, 3D Video Chats [Floating Head FTW], A funner way to interact with your mobile games, and new innovative applications. I imagine myself going to sleep after setting my phones alarm and when the alarm goes off a giant bird comes out of the screen and scream at me. Business users can use it as a quick way to show off data or 3D models of a product. Designers can create niffty 3D backgrounds, movies, and pictures. While game makers can expand the gaming process to have it interact with you in a way similar to how a 3D movie interacts with you.]]>May 12th 2010 5:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/sharp-busts-out-worlds-first-3d-hd-camera-for-mobile-devices/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/sharp-busts-out-worlds-first-3d-hd-camera-for-mobile-devices/

actually, it won't make image larger, just less '3d'. Sensors should at least be similar to human eye-distance-apart to get correct parallax. 3D works best at medium distances. Sensors far apart will be like looking at the tip of your nose and too close will be like looking at distant hills.]]>May 12th 2010 7:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/sharp-busts-out-worlds-first-3d-hd-camera-for-mobile-devices/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/sharp-busts-out-worlds-first-3d-hd-camera-for-mobile-devices/May 12th 2010 3:26AM
