3D In Your Hand
from the see-what-you-want-to-see dept
Some Microsoft researchers are apparently using airbag trigger sensor technology to improve PDA displays. Apparently, the various "tilt" sensors can be used to allow an image on a PDA screen to change as the device is tilted - thus creating something of a 3D image within the PDA. It could let people view larger documents, or more complicated images, by moving around their handheld devices as they try to view the image. Of course, by the time they have it perfected, we'll all have moved on to headsup displays that will require us to roll our heads around to view things in 3D...
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
