With Infosys patent, mobile devices can beam 3D images

By 2010, the mobile device will offer a 3D experience in gaming, medicine and movies. CNET.com New window

reports that a rich user experience on a holographic mobile handset will become a reality based on a patent

granted by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) to Infosys.

Infosys’ patent from USPTO states that the holographic mobile phone incorporates a robust processor that

converts 2D photographs into 3D holograms using the Fourier algorithm. It enables communications networks

to beam unprocessed data that is translated into 3D holographic images on the mobile device without any

loss in resolution.

A handheld mobile device that captures, sends, receives and projects three-dimensional images can be used

in a wide range of applications by professionals such as doctors and engineers.
