A 3D application for Apple’s iphone is way overdue. With the release of new 3D movies such as My Bloody Valentine 3D and James Cameron’s awaited movie, Avatar, we know that 3D has made a come back and the technology is better than it was in the past. With Panasonic building momentum to be the leader in 3D with their newly announced 3D HD video camera, we know that major companies are pushing 3D. The first ever 3DX Festival (3D Film and Entertainment Technology Festival) was held in Singapore in November of 2008 with some top industry luminaries such as Mark Zoradi, president of Walt Disney Studios Motion Picture Group, Jim Gianopulos, Fox Filmed Entertainment Chairman. Jeffrey Katzenberg, CEO of DreamWorks Animation, was there and even said that “in five to seven years, all films, regardless of budgets or type, will be made in 3-D.” Disney’s Bolt 3D was a world permeier at the 3DX Festival and Disney has 17 3D films in the works within the next 3 years, including the remastering of previous Disney films in 3D.  From Monster vs. Aliens forward, all films produced DreamWorks and Pixar will be released in BOTH 2D and 3D. So with so much happening in the realm of 3D film and entertainment than it would only make sense that it will begin to show up on computer screens and cell phones as it is beginning to appear on television screens now – without glasses! In fact, the inside scope here at 3Dguy.tv is that the world’s first 3D video running on an ordinary cell phone will be released at the iphone Apple store soon. All you need is an iphone OR itouch and to download the 3D app from Apple’s store. You will not need any special glasses, screen modifications, or additional hardware or peripherals. So once this soon-to-be-released unnammed 3d iphone application is released… what will you be viewing on your iphone in 3d? Well, the content needs to be converted. You need to use video, pictures, or animation in high definition and 2D-3D conversion software to create the 3D content and then download it from the iphone Apple store. Prices for the 3D app and content is still unavailable but the suspense is building in the office as this is the very first information about the release of 3D coming to the iphone. So now that we have a 3D app for the iphone and ipod touch, the next question is what 3D content will be available? Well, we can say anything from 3D logos to short video clips of 30 to 60 seconds. So now the Twitter for video comes to the iphone where Twitter is micro-blogging of 160 characters or less the 3D iphone content will be video of 60 seconds or less. Now if we think about what else is going 3D right now we think of movies, IMAX, and RealD. Bolt and Monster’s vs. Aliens were hug and the build up for James Cameron’s Avatar (2009) 3D is getting bigger as the release date is getting closer. Avatar 3D might be the first 3D movie to be on Blu-ray so could they also be the very first movie trailer to be displayed in 3D on the iphone?
