What the Dynamic Perspective Featured in Amazon Fire Phone, a 3D-smartphone, Looks Like [Video]

This week the world’s largest Internet retailer Amazon has presented Fire Phone, its first smartphone. The gadget has little differences from the competitors’ premium devices in its specifications. However, it features an original technology of 3D imagery simulation.

Dynamic Perspective, the pseudo-3D feature, uses four sensors placed at the corners of the front part of the device. They monitor the position of the user’s head and change the perspective of the image in the screen respectively to create the illusion of 3D. It’s like the user is looking through the screen at three-dimensional items inside the device.

Two of the four cameras provide Fire Phone with stereovision, i.e. its ability to estimate the distance to the user’s face. The developers used four cameras to expand the viewing area of the system. Each sensor has infrared lighting enabling it to spot the user in the dark. The infrared light is invisible to the user himself.

Dynamic Perspective can be used in various Fire Phone applications including games. There it will create a true-to-life effect of depth. The new feature can also be used in reading and viewing documents to flip through pages or images. The Dynamic Perspective technology is also available in the SDK.
