Cell phones have become a platform for visual communication and entertainment in addition to their traditional voice function. TV, gaming and picture messaging are important applications especially in terms of the amount of data traffic they generate. These trends are reflected in phone specifications e.g. high resolution TFT colour screens, megapixel cameras, large memory capacity, and increasing processing power to deal with sophisticated graphics including real time 2D to 3D conversion for video images and rendered 3D games.

Ocuity's technology enhances gaming and picture messaging with its reconfigurable stereo 3D technology. Stereo 3D is a significantly enhanced new environment for 3DTV, gamers and provides exciting opportunities for games publishers.

When 3D is required it is switched on automatically and the phone presents two high quality 3D views with very low (~ 1%) cross talk. No special glasses are required by the viewer! The use of reconfigurable lenses not only achieves the best 3D quality but also means that there no compromise to the standard 2D viewing mode. All this can be achieved at a low premium to the base panel price.
