CTIA 2011: HTC Evo 3D takes phones into 3-D
HTC Evo 3D unveiled at CTIA 2011
(Credit: Kent German/CNET)With a 4.3-inch screen and the familiar candy bar/smart phone shape, the Evo 3D's big surprise doesn't reveal itself until you turn the phone over. On the back are two 5-megapixel cameras that can shoot photos and video in 3D.
Like the new Nintendo 3DS and the Optimus 3D - the first 3D cell phone - the Evo 3D does not require 3D glasses to be effective. Unlike movies, the images don't jump out at the viewer but rather float off the screen.
It's not quite Avatar, but according to CNET's Kent German the effect is "definitely noticeable and rather fun."
A simple switch toggles between 3D and 2D for those who prefer their images to stay in one plane.
As developers and manufacturers continue to foist 3D on consumers, it only makes sense that phones are joining the movement. AT&T plans to add a variation of the Optimus 3D to their line-up. No word on the price of either phone yet, but stay tuned to CNET's complete coverage of CTIA 2011 for more info.
