3D capability has captivated tech enthusiasts as well as mobile aficionados alike, opening up various possibilities of entertainment which seem to be almost futuristic. Now digging deeper into this option, we see LG Electronics teaming up with YouTube to offer the unique 3D mobile experience to portable devices.
It is claimed that the company’s forthcoming premium smartphones that run on Android will allow owners to capture as well as view 3D videos without needing to equip themselves with special 3D glasses. Furthermore, they can also share them with friends and family by instantly uploading them onto YouTube.
“The Optimus 3D is LG’s newest flagship smartphone. It is our answer to two major pain points of the current 3D experience – limited mobility and specialized glasses. Furthermore, our partnership with YouTube will ensure that our customers can easily generate and access ample 3D content,” commented Dr. Jong-seok Park, President and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company.
“3D technology has traditionally been reserved for the major Hollywood movie studios,” revealed Francsico Varela, Head of YouTube Platform Partnerships. “With the new LG Optimus 3D anyone anywhere in the world can shoot 3D videos, upload them to YouTube and share them with their friends. We’re excited to see the creative videos our community captures and shares with this new technology.”
Through the new partnership formed between the two companies, 3D entertainment is slated to be taken to new heights. The endeavor is expected to make it easy for handset owners to share and view 3D video on their very own devices. The advanced Optimus 3D from LG is powered by ‘Tri-Dual’ Configuration – dual-core, simultaneous dual-channel and dual-memory. This technological advancement is slated to be showcased at the 2011 Mobile World Congress that is to take place in Barcelona. According to the company, it will be noted as the premier mobile device that offers YouTube 3D experience.
The Android-powered Optimus 3D is slated to hit the global market by early Q2 2011 in Europe. The company hasn’t yet revealed the exact pricing details of the smartphone.
