First Holographic Cell Phones Coming in 2018 (Red Hydrogen)

A company called Red that usually develops high-end cameras for movies and television series is delving into the world of mobile phones, releasing their Red Hydrogen in 2018. This is not only a mobile phone but a holographic projector as well!

So far, I cannot find any video of this technology in action, and it appears as if Red is being highly secretive. However, here is a demo of the device on YouTube, although the holograms have been blurred out. Brad Pitt has also seen the device in action.



The aluminum version will cost $1,195. Here is a video showing some examples of the holographic display.



The technology is superior to and not similar to the technology used by such things as the 3DS, does not require glasses, and allows you to look at the projected image from different angles.

Red is promising a phone with supposedly revolutionary tech: a "holographic" display known as 4-View that not only provides a glasses-free 3D image, but also lets you look around and behind objects by displaying multiple perspectives on whatever you're watching.

CNET

As a camera company, Red has designed the phone to be modular, which means that you can place customized high-end lenses on it for the occasion.

3D holographic imagery that can be viewed from any angle has been called such things as 4-view, multiview, light field display, or multiscopic 3D.

It will be possible to shoot 4-view holographs with the Red Hydrogen, however, that will require an additional attachment.

As you could have probably figured out by now, this is not just a concept but has a working prototype (which was shown in the first YouTube video above). Even so, the company is being highly secretive at the moment when it comes to showing off its display.

Where will this technology end up in the future?

We'll be able to immortalise our friends and families with holographic photos. The same tech in the phone will be available for picture frames. Very cool.

Whoops double post

Yay!! More gadgets and gizmos on a phone!!
I mean, it's not like folks are so distracted by them now, they can't do simple tasks such as driving or walking without running into something.

And by the way....who the f*** pays $1200 for a phone? And WHY?

smh...Jesus Christ.

Sorry Op. I like technology...I really do. It's just that there are so many idiots out there who don't know when to
Put. It. Down.

$1,200... with how many month financing ? You better get in line now...

Oooh aww, eee, three D!

That'll be one thousand dollar puhlease.

Yeah, I can see from the comments that the price point is a little high. I agree. I’m hoping this technology eventually lowers in price and appears in more situations in the future.

I’m not going to go out and buy one, but it shows promise for those willing to wait or even those looking for a company to invest in.

I paid $200 for a PS4 and $200 for a PSVR headset, plus $60 for Skyrim VR and $40 for the PlayStation camera. The idea was for me to experience first gen VR tech. Saving for that took me a few months, during which I had to reduce spending. I don’t think I’ll be saving up $1,200 any time soon.

I need to know when i can implant my spying device into my head.
It´s so uncomfortable that i need to carry around my personal spying device, so that others can make the world a safer place for me and my fellow earth citizens, with our data...

You will probably get the chance to wear contacts or glasses with a built-in camera one day, with the option to live-stream your life all over the globe.

Just imagining the highly inappropriate texts I can send with this. Must have one.

I dont see any holograms.

Yep. A society of Google Skynet minions live feeding the AGI God pervasive surveillance of every nook of the planet.

Darn it! I just got the S8, and thought to myself, I will keep this for a few years, its got a UHD display and is a fantastic phone. This though, wow, I am going to have to have it!

Does this mean 3D porn?

Fake as hell!

Already got it with the PSVR, tried it for the first time last week. I was actually trying to get 3D video to work in general, and it was the easiest.

Although PSVR can watch 3D Blu-ray movies, I was interested in what I could download and store on a usb stick at the time.

It was definitely interesting, but I think I prefer Skyrim.

I might get a 3D Blu-ray Movie for Christmas.

1200 dollar phone for 3d/4d porn, and I still don't have a coffee cup that stays warm....
Tech fail....

More likely, it will be glasses and a wire to your belt or pocket 'pack'.

Scan selection by Iris movement oon Heads up Display enabling all the features you enjoy now. Plus the sunglasses will block UV too!
