How to make an iPhone 3D
Portable handheld devices with 3D capability are a very expensive proposition and involve technology still under research. However, there is no denying the fact that this capability could make any handheld device explosive. For all 3D savvy dreamers out there, the extremely high price tags associated with the 3D gadgets in the market can be very disheartening.
However, the good news is that for a meager amount of $50 you can make your iPhone into a 3D device. Can you believe it? Moreover, this feat is achievable not just with your iPhone, but your iPod touch too!
Coming soon, as cheap as £24.99 you can get an automatic stereoscopic adapter which can turn images 3-Dimensional. You simply use this transparent adapter over your screen, which allows you to see 3D without having to wear plastic 3D glasses. The adapter is a lenticular lens over the screen that diverts two images to the left and right eye individually, giving you that 3D effect.
This has added advantages with it. You can also adjust the depth of the image you want to see in 3D. For an extra cost of £50, you can get a 3D camera that will allow you to snap 3D images and later also view them as anaglyphs. You can also display these images on Facebook if you download the necessary iPhone App. With the help of a similar application, you can put up your 3D photos on flickr. These applications cost $1.50 and are easily available. You can later convert these images into anaglyphs or auto stereoscopic images.
Another firm is in talks for a collaboration to see if they can release 3D movies compatible with Apple iPhones and iPod Touch 4, so that you can view movies in 3D on your iPhone. More good news! 3D games which are already a taking the market by storm, could also be played over your iPhone. This is a unique advantage to owning an iPhone and owners should be chuffed as many of the 3D gaming devices and 3D phones haven't been released yet, the iPhone is ready to go 3D today!
