New 3D smartphones with no need for glasses

New 3D technology is being constantly unveiled. HTC presented the new EVO 3D, which has a 4.3 inch touchscreen with 3D imagery without the need of glasses. Users will also be able to capture 3D photos and videos using a special double camera on the back of the phone.

The video is not great, but it's a work in progress. We can be sure that future models will greatly enhance this feature. For the moment, the operating system will remain the same - Google's Android OS.

LG is also working on a 3D version of their own, that will soon hit the stores as "Optimus 3D". They also persuaded Google to make YouTube videos produced with 3-D cameras available in a separate application and allow phone users to upload them directly.

"Instead of being at the mercy of Hollywood studios to bring 3-D content, why don't we enable our customers to create their own 3-D content?" said Yongseok Jang, LG's vice president of strategy.

Google Earth 3D sees the world like Dali

3D maps in "Google Earth" offers users satellite images of mountains, highways, towns and roads. As the technology is still under development, 3D images are distorted and appear like in the paintings of Salvador Dali.

Programmer and artist Clement Valla has collected dozens of strange images seen from the satellites.

Photos are downright spectacular, bridges and highways can see elongated, with many bumps, while bridges seem to go down in ravines or water.

The entire collection can be seen on his official website: clementvalla.com.
