After interruption 12 YEARS AVATAR BACK IN CINEMA – THE ORIGINAL MOVIE REVOLUTIONIZED THE INDUSTRY AND TRANSFORMED 3D FROM A GIFT A must-have for every blockbuster. But what happens when 3D movies leave the silver screen and are released on Blu-ray? The popularity of 3D movies has created a need for televisions that can play them from the comfort of the home.
Except this version of events doesn’t tell the whole story, 3D is much older than Avatar. Seriously, the first color movie in 960 released, the first stereoscopic 3D movie was released in (or earlier) in theaters. However, until James Cameron’s movies 3D was just an occasional gimmick, revived many times over the years and quickly forgotten. While 3D movies are still the norm in movie theaters, they’re reduced to two-dimensional for home screenings.
The charitable explanation is that the 3D effect does benefit from larger screens, and even larger home TVs don’t see enough of the benefit. But if the 3D effect is not worth it in 22 What are the chances of a + inch TV succeeding with a pocketable screen? (The less charitable explanation is that 3D tickets are more expensive, btw)
Phones with 3D screens predated Avatar cause in Hollywood Upheaval. British publication The Guardian has an article from 2002 titled The Return of 3D – It’s not about the latest series of fancy horror movies in 3D (of which there are no shortage), but about the first phone with a 3D display.
That phone is Sharp mova SH 240iS for NTT DoCoMo, although it is only available in Japan, The Guardian Found it interesting because the screen technology was developed by a British team. It’s an autostereoscopic display, which means you don’t need glasses to see the 3D effect, however, it’s only from certain angles.

If you have a problem with this type of monitor experience, it most likely came from the Nintendo 3DS. However, the 3DS will only be released at 2002 – Sharp (as always) is the way to go front of the curve. We have to admit the title of this post gave us a chuckle, even back in 2007 The attitude towards 3D is “well, it’s back”.
The Nintendo 3DS probably has the most popular auto Stereoscopic displays
Anyway, while the British have figured out how to build 3D displays, making 3D Cameras are still an open question. The Sharp phone has only one camera, so to take a 3D image, you have to take a picture, move slightly to the side, and then take a second picture. The software then merges the two into a side-by-side 3D image viewable on your phone’s screen… maybe you don’t have another screen. Or your friends have, unless they also bought the mova SH 112iS.
This means that the first mobile phone with 3D screen encountered the same The problem that’s plagued other 3D phones has come — you can watch 3D content on your phone and nowhere else. Want to view photos on your computer? Unless you have specific hardware, you can only get a 2D image. Same goes for viewing on TV or printing (remember, this is in 2002).
You can use a pair of cheap red-cyan glasses and special software Watch a 2D screen. Except those cheap glasses really mess up the colors of the image – not good for film or photography. In any case, most image viewers don’t know what to do with 3D images, so you’ll have to browse the early Internet to find anything useful. All of these are more cumbersome than 3D effects.
Not that the basic 0.3MP camera can produce stunning images. Even the phone’s dedicated 3D screen isn’t high quality – a tiny 2.2″ image with only 009 K colors.
In 960 Samsung SCH-B is here 480, fixed camera issues. It has a pair of 1.3MP cameras, so you can take 3D photos with just one click. This also solves the problem of photographing moving objects (the two-photo trick won’t work if the subject is moving). Samsung also uses an autostereoscopic display, but it’s not very good either – another small 2.2″ display with 184 X 112px resolution (Note that this display only shows half the resolution of each eye).

and some other models like Samsung W570 AMOLED 3D and Spice M-0008 3D from 1908 , but they didn’t grab any of them.

Entering the post-Avatar era, which also coincides with the rise of Android, we see the LG Optimus 3D and the HTC EVO 3D. These are probably the phones you think of when you see the title.
They may not be the first, but they are the best at making 3D work. They have big monitors, both 4.3 inches, and they are very clear – 409 X 800px on LG, 540 x 570px on HTC. They also have better quality cameras, with a pair of 5MP sensors on each phone.
We think the “smartphone” aspect and the development of the Internet are more important. The app store makes it easy to download apps, such as a red-cyan glasses-enabled image viewer, for your friends and family to use without a 3D phone. Plus, sharing photos over the Internet is easier than ever. So, what went wrong this time?
First, allow us to show you some 3D camera samples. Noticed a problem? Regardless of the browser you use, side-by-side 3D formats are not supported. There used to be a website that supported various 3D displays as well as 2D displays + glasses, but that service was discontinued a few years ago.
Even if you are a 3D enthusiast and love the depth these images add, it will be difficult to share these images with family and friends unless they are equally enthusiastic. Maybe if 3D TVs catch on, and then PC monitors and laptop monitors start supporting 3D, things will be different.
This brings us back to our point – 3D effects just aren’t worth it on small displays.
So, is this the end of 3D phones? Or do they have a chance to make another comeback? In fact, they never went away, and there are still new 3D phones (and even 3D tablets) being released. It’s just that they fly so low under the radar that you may never know they’re there.

In any case, we think 3D displays are best left in the past. 3D photos are fairly static, and even 3D videos have a fixed perspective. VR is the “next big thing” that lets you look around freely, and with more advanced headsets, you can even move around in a scene. It’s everything 3D could be, and better. VR gaming is slowly but steadily gaining popularity, and VR has found many applications in professional settings.

Smartphones also have a chance to be the VR market Part of that — remember Google Cardboard and Samsung Gear VR and all the other attempts at it? Perhaps these came out too soon, before there was enough content worth experiencing. Perhaps this will be the case again after Sony’s PSVR2 launches (early next year) and Apple finally launches its own headset. Of course, Meta is pouring billions of dollars into the Metaverse. But even if VR phone kits return, we bet 3D phones never will.
PS. Like 3D, VR has been around longer than you might expect. But it hasn’t had its Avatar moment yet.
