LG and Android take the phone camera from every day tool to nifty gadget by allowing users to convert images to 3D .
Anyone who thought that the iPhone and iPad were going to force commonality in competitors was dead wrong. As much as all the device manufacturers have moved to match the Apple device capabilities and user experience, they are all innovating at an exciting pace to create their own unique capabilities. My team receives all the pre-release devices and evaluates them for our platform. Instead of convergence there is a significant divergence, especially across Android devices. This is everything from form factor and device capabilities to unique software loads. We recently received a set of devices and found much of the new to be gadgetry. One really cool feature for one of the devices is a 3D camera. At first look, this sounds like a gadget too, but the app for the camera actually takes the two camera shots and combines them into layers. In everyday technical use this can provide some depth to shots of machinery, packing materials and packaging to name a few. Combine this with an approval app and you’ve got some unique value. Keep an eye out for some device goodies from Samsung and LG. They both have some really interesting features on the way.
