Sharp Uses its Glasses-Less 3D Screens in Two Android Phones for Japan [3dTv]

a couple of months back I tried out a glasses-less 3D prototype from Sharp , where the cameraphone took ” 3D” photos and made them pop out in their parallax barrier screens. That tech’s now in two Android phones-for Japan, anyway.

The Galapagos 003SH and 005SH phones will launch on the Softbank network, with both phones having 3.8-inch WVGA screens. a couple of things separate the two, equivalent to a 9.6MP camera on the 003SH and an 8MP lens for the 005SH, plus there’s a slide-out QWERTY keyboard on the latter too.

Sharp and Softbank haven’t said whether you’ll have the ability to take photos in their quasi-3D format, but I imagine that’s the case. They’ve also partnered up with Capcom for some pre-loaded 3D games, including Mega Man, Ghosts ‘n Goblins: Gold Knights, and Resident Evil: Degeneration.

You and I won’t be seeing the light of day of these phones, but I’m glad Sharp’s getting some usage out of their 3D tech , and not just Nintendo . [ Softbank via Akihabara News via 3D-Display-Info via AndroidCommunity ]
