Apple working on glasses-free 3D display, software, rumor claims

Category: Free Software

Apple is working on a form of glasses-free 3D display, and a matching set of "software ecosystems," supply chain sources tell the Chinese-language Economic Daily. The technology will reportedly force Apple to switch from its current in-cell display technology to new panels, likely supplied by TPK. Apple has filed patents for 3D user interfaces in the past, but this may mark the first rumor of the company actually putting ideas into practice.

The technology could conceivably borrow ideas from Amazon's Fire Phone (pictured). While often considered a failure, the phone did introduce a quasi-3D interface using four front-facing cameras to adjust perspective relative to a person's gaze. iOS 8 already attempts 3D on a small scale, using a parallax effect to create the illusion that icons are "hovering" over the homescreen background.
