Samsung Jumping in 3D arena with Galaxy 3D?

Remember when Samsung announced this year back in February that there is no need of 3D as of now on cellphones, it seem company is realized the importance of 3D now. According to a report in Korean publication ETNews, Samsung is now working on Galaxy 3D, which will complete with the likes of Optimus 3D and Evo 3D.

It is expected to come with Android 2.3, upgradable to future Android version along with Samsung Exynos 1.2 GHz dual core processor, 4.3 inch 3D LCD, and dual 8MP cameras for 3D capture.

Samsung Galaxy 3D is likely to be released in the last quarter of the year.

This is interesting. Samsung had earlier filed a patent which was published on 14th July 2011. Talks of shallow depth of field akin to a DSLR by using 2 lenses in normal point & shoot cameras.

And Samsung Galaxy 3D has to have 2 lense.. Possibilities are endless. Check the Original PDF file for the patent here>> http://macnn.com/rd/...NG-THE-SAME.pdf

Samsung Shallow Depth of Field Camera Patent Can Give 3D a Boost

A new patent filed by Samsung for a shallow depth of field camera would utilize two separate lenses to give the depth of field effect obtained from a more expensive DSLR camera. Essentially, the patent application can be implemented on regular digital point and shoot equipment or those found on smartphones, such as Samsung's Galaxy series Android phones, and would allow users, for example, to maintain focus on one particular subject in the frame while blurring out the background.

In order to achieve the shallow depth of field effect that's been a popular feature of DSLR, Samsung will make use of one camera lens to capture the full resolution image and a secondary lens to evaluate the distances between various other objects.

Information from both lenses would be combined, and software would be used to extrapolate what gets blurred and what will remain in focus.

It's still unclear if Samsung intends on commercializing the technology. With smartphones implementing 'tap-to-focus' focusing mechanisms, like those found on HTC smartphones, iPhones, Samsung Android phones, and select newer Motorola handsets, similar shallow depth of field effects are achievable, though results will vary and won't be nearly as good as those promised by Samsung's new patent application nor the quality found on high-end and costlier DSLR equipment. An example of a single-lens smartphone camera–and not the dual-lens implementation per Samsung's new patent–is found below in Engadget's Myrium Joire's photograph posted on Facebook, titled Insect Overlord, which focuses on the insect subject and blurs out the background. Joire says that the image was captured with an HTC myTouch 4G Slide from T-Mobile, and the image is re- posted below:

The effect of Samsung's patent application can give 3D cameras a boost. As 3D cameras require 2 lenses to capture the 3D effect, those cameras that make use of Samsung's shallow depth of field focusing mechanism can potentially also be used to shoot 3D images. Perhaps, in the future, better Samsung Android smartphone cameras with 3D image and video capture can be seen as a result.

finally seems samsung thought of getting into 3D technology, maybe looking at success and awesome response for htc and lg handsets, lets see how well samsung offers to its competitors, also to see at what pricing they offer their 3D handset.

3D with super AMOLED plus would surely be awesome.
