iPhone or iPodTouch with 3D Display

Now you can see 3D movies with your iPhone or iPod Touch with an additional device called i3DG. This device is an analog extension to an iPhone or an iPodTouch, converting its 2D display into a layered 3D view. Using the old technique of placing a half-silvered mirror at a 45-degree angle in front of an image, in a new context, the project extends upon 3D displays and iPhones. As a peripheral gadget, i3DG can support a wide range of different applications, from 3D videos and animations to accelerometer-based games.

i3DG is invented by Jitsuro Mase, a media artist, and produced by Directions Inc., a Japanese media production company. It has won a prize of an international competition, Ars Electronica Festival 2010 Honorary Mention.

This device lets you enjoy 3D movies right in the palm of your hand without 3D glasses or other gear. Both production and playback of the visuals do not require special technology or equipment, such as shooting imagery with 2 cameras or using complicated CG technique for image production.
