Holographic mobiles 'available in 2 years'

By Editorial Team (Tuesday, 24th June 2008)

Mobile phone customers may soon be able to send, receive and watch 3D images, thanks to a development by Indian technology company Infosys.

It has been reported that holographic phone technology could be available by 2010, with devices which can capture three dimensional images and send them through mobile handsets.

The development will allow complex images to be sent as unprocessed data, to be interpreted by the receiving handset.

An Infosys spokesperson said: "Holographic handsets have the capability of enriching the user experience, with an actual 3D experience and higher-quality images.

"This gives users a more realistic experience in areas like gaming, medicine, movies etc."

Meanwhile, Infosys continues to work in other areas such as applications and IT infrastructure services, as its work has now spread from its Indian base to offices throughout the world.

The 3D market has been forecast to expand to 8.1 million units by 2010, according to ZDNet.
