RED Camera Company Announces HYDROGEN Smartphone With 'Holographic Display'

The RED Digital Cinema Camera Company has announced HYDROGEN, a new smartphone with a 'holographic display'.

With one fell swoop... the future of personal communication, information gathering, holographic multi-view, 2D, 3D, AR/VR/MR, and image capture just changed forever.

The HYDROGEN ONE smartphone runs on Android OS and features a 5.7-inch hydrogen holographic display. RED says the display features nanotechnology that can switch between traditional 2D content, holographic multi-view content, 3D content, and interactive games.

Here's a look at the features being touted for the device...

---
Glasses Obsolete
It is no longer necessary to carry (or charge) another device to enjoy multi-dimensional content. Experience "look around depth" in the palm of your hand, no glasses or headsets in sight.
● View all traditional 2D content normally at full screen resolution
● View holographic RED Hydrogen 4-View content tH4V)
● View stereo 3D content
● View 2D/3D VR, AR and MR

Assault Your Senses
Embedded in the OS is a proprietary H30 algorithm that converts stereo sound into expansive multi-dimensional audio. Think 5.1 on your headphones. The perfect match for holographic H4V or just listening to your favorite tunes. The differ­ence this makes would be enough to justify the entire
system.


Modularity
The HYDROGEN SYSTEM incorporates a new high-speed data bus to enable a comprehensive and ever-expanding modular component system, which will include future attachments for shooting higher quality motion and still images as well as HYDROGEN format holographic images.

Command Central
The HYDROGEN ONE will not only be the control center for the HYDROGEN system, it will also integrate into the profes­sional RED camera program, working together with Scarlet, EPIC and weapon as a user interface and monitor.

Red Channel
One channel to find all 4-View holographic content. Create .h4v (or convert 3D to .h4v) content and upload. Download or stream to view. Movies, documentaries, games, shopping and other apps all found with one click.
