June 18, according to foreign media reports, Amazon will unveil its smartphones tomorrow, but the long development of the smart phone is not so widely known. However, with Brad Stone, the Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos biographer in-depth coverage of some of the secrets behind this smartphone, as well as its support for Amazon's Cryptic Lab Lab126 The situation has been exposed.
The smartphone project is said to have started as early as 2009, inspired by the discovery that the cracked Wii tracks the movement of people's heads. By reversing the Nintendo Wii's sensor location, users can create a display that tracks the user's head and shows pictures that move as the user moves in sync and create a 3D display without the need for 3D glasses.
The lab is said to have initially launched two smartphone projects, one with a naked-eye 3D display and a lower-cost version without 3D capabilities. The two phones are codenamed Tyto and Otus, both genus owls. But low-cost Amazon smartphones are said to have been abolished, it is unclear whether it has also been completed.
However, the development of 3D smartphones faces a series of challenges. Including getting the right camera for a steady 3D effect while controlling the cost of the handset handset. Also investigate why smart phone users need such features. Lab126 smartphone team reorganized several times, the leadership has undergone many changes, staff turnover is also very high. But Bezos himself said the lab should be ready to launch the smartphone from the summer of last year.
Amazon's smartphones rely on four forward-facing infrared cameras to track users and create 3D effects. This phone apparently also allows people to operate the phone with only gestures. But just because Amazon has the ability to integrate 3D technology with smartphones does not mean it does.
However, the answer to this question will be announced soon. Amazon expects to release the device tomorrow at 1:30 pm EST. Recent reports indicate that this phone will be AT & T exclusive agent. (Spring 旸)
