3D films are not new. Early experiments date to 1915. The 1950s brought the  form’s Golden Age with classics such as “House of Wax” and “Man in the Dark.” But what if you could shoot your own 3D video using a pocket phone? Enter the Red Hydrogen One smartphone slated to be released later this year. Created by Red, known for high end cameras used in many Hollywood productions, the device projects holographic images from its conventional-sized screen. The cost will be around $1,200 for an aluminum model and $1,600 for the titanium version.

Details remain murky but there’s an interesting thread on the subject at Reduser. Here, for example, is a comment from someone who has been using a prototype: “In 4V mode (holographic), the screen dims a bit and out pops a “better than 3D” image… no glasses needed. There is no way to describe this. You just have to see it. So far, everyone that has seen it gasps, swears or just grins. I wish we had recorded all the reactions. Priceless.”
