RED Hydrogen One Smartphone Set For 2018 Release, World’s First Phone Capable Of Displaying Holograms

The Hydrogen One smartphone, developed by high-end camera company RED, is a premium device capable of displaying 3D “holographic” content without the need for special glasses. According to a company press release, the “world’s first holographic media machine” will feature “display technology you haven’t seen before.”
“Experience ‘look around depth’ in the palm of your hand, no glasses or headsets in sight,” according to a RED statement, as cited by the Independent.
Powered by the Android operating system, the RED Hydrogen One smartphone will feature a 5.7-inch screen with the ability to display both 2D and 3D content. An attachment will be needed for the camera to capture 3D video using a special holographic format, dubbed Hydrogen. Yet, according to Business Insider, the extraordinary attachment will not be available at the initial launch of the Hydrogen One smartphone.
Other than the sophisticated 3D technology, RED’s Hydrogen One smartphone will come with some serious audio qualities. Current information indicates the device will utilize a process that converts stereo sound into a format that smoothly coincides with the holographic content.
The Hydrogen One isn’t the first attempt at a device capable of displaying 3D content. LG and HTC tried the concept in 2011 but the technology didn’t pan out. In 2014, Amazon introduced the 3D Fire Phone, which ultimately failed expectations.
