3-D Phone

In entertainment, the introduction of 3-D products is prominent. There have been 3-D movies, television and now 3-D phones. However, there is a special difference between the phone and previous 3-D products. The new 3-D phone will not require its users to wear glasses. Some may say that this can change the way people look at 3-D products completely. The biggest complaint I have heard about 3-D is the fact that they don't want to wear the 3-D glasses. So it would be appropriate to ask whether or not 3-D products will be more successful if the glasses aren't needed. Most likely, ditching the glasses, companies will have an easier time selling the product because users would not have to deal with the disadvantage of the 3-D glasses. In other words the trade-off would be eliminated. Users will no longer have to wear 3-D glasses that many dislike in order to view entertainment products in TV. This advantage will change the view on 3-D products, hopefully making them more successful and user friendly. If consumers respond positively to the new 3-D phone it could benefit the economy in the same way the iphone or android has done. In other words, the demand for this new 3-D phone will have the same effect as the iphone/android had. If the 3-D phone is just as successful, the possibilities the product can have is endless. New 3-D apps and games will be in store for its users making 3-D products a new industry. If the new phone is successful then the demand for all 3-D products could increase as well. The 3-D phone could be the new product that makes 3-D even more successful.

  1. I agree with Alanna that the majority of complaints about 3-D technology is it's necessity for glasses. The classes keep the demand for 3-D products low because they do not meet many people's preferences or what they are willing to do in order to perform a simple task such as watching TV or using a cell phone. The introduction of 3-D technology would be more expensive for the companies in the short term because they would need to first find a way to make it possible, which would cost both valuable time and money. However, in the long term it is likely that because the only consistent complaints have been regarding the glasses, the removal of the glasses will lead to a skyrocketed demand for the 3-D products. The increased demand will greatly raise profit which will make up for the money spent in the process of delivering a glasses-free 3-D product.

  2. Thanks Kate M. I completely agree with you. There will be certain costs involved with making the new 3-D without glasses work ,but I do think it will be beneficial in the long term success of 3-D products.

  3. I agree with you Alanna when you say that the extra costs in the short term will be beneficial to the success of 3-D products in the long run. A few extra dollars now could mean a lot of extra dollars in the future for the new 3-D technology that is being placed into the phone. I also agree that the glasses are what is standing in the way of 3-D becoming the best thing on the market. For one, they take a little getting use to once on, and they are also a little blurry. If this 3-D phone is a success, just like Alanna said, the possibilites are endless.
