@ 2014/04/16Word on the street is that the online bookseller Amazon is preparing to announce the next generation of smartphones.
The new phone will feature a 3D screen and users will not need to use 3D glasses to see it.
Apparently the rumour is that the phone will "employ retina-tracking technology embedded in four front-facing cameras, or sensors, to make some images appear to be 3-D, similar to a hologram.
Some common features, like zooming in to get a closer look at a photo, will happen automatically. The 3-D screen technology can sense the movement of a person's eyes and whether the screen is moving closer to a user's face. The phone can automatically zoom into images as it moves closer to a user's face and could manipulate text and images as a person moves the phone."
Amazon has already been showing early versions of the phone to suppliers in Seattle and San Francisco and a formal announcement is expected in June. The phones should be shipping by September with Amazon ordering 600,000 of them.
