Gameloft to offer Stereoscopic 3D games for LG Optimus 3D Max

Gameloft has partnered with LG once again to bring several Stereoscopic 3D games for the upcoming LG Optimus 3D Max smartphone. The Optimus 3D came pre-loaded with 3 Gameloft S-3D games last year including several downloadable games. LG announced the Optimus 3D Max at the MWC 2012 last month.


The games include Assassin’s Creed 3D, Dungeon Hunter 2 3D, James Cameron’s Avatar 3D, N.O.V.A. 2 – Near Orbit Vanguard Alliance 3D, Shrek Kart 3D, BackStab 3D, Fishing Kings 3D, Modern Combat 2: Black Pegasus 3D, Shadow Guardian 3D and Spider-Man: Total Mayhem 3D, Order & Chaos and Splinter Cell 3D that will be available through LG Smart World.


Users can also convert Google Earth, Google Maps and other road views into 3D using the enhanced 3D Converter. The 3D photos and videos captured by the Optimus 3D Max can be viewed in a single-screen mode in 2D and easily be toggled between 2D and 3D using the 3D Hot Key mounted on the side of the phone.


LG Optimus 3D Max is scheduled for release in March and it packs in 4.3-inch IPS display with Corning Gorilla Glass 2 protection that would offer Glasses-Free 3D viewing and is powered by 1.2GHz dual-core processor.

Thomas Hawk with the Project Glass

Google wants to put the world’s information in front of you – directly  in front of you. Earlier this week, the company confirmed that it is developing an augmented reality platform that would be based in a pair of glasses. “Project Glass,” as its currently known, is still in development, but it is an ambitious venture that will enable an always-on method of communication.


A promotional video showcased some of the ways in which Project Glass could be useful someday. Get incoming notifications and respond with voice commands, see the weather or a schedule, check-in or post to Google+, take pictures, control music playback, and even start a video chat. All impressive stuff, even if we might not see it tomorrow.

Though the One Day video is a concept that shows we’re far away from seeing Project Glass mass-produced, it might not be as far away as we think. Google co-founder Sergey Brin was spotted at a charity event last night wearing the prototype. And before you scoff at the awkward geekery of the way it looks, it’s a prototype.


Robert Scoble joked that a light flashed when he Brin saw him, so it might have been a Google+ profile label or a PR rep telling Brin to say nothing. Jokes aside, the concept of Project Glass is intriguing and could bring us all closer to having a more sophisticated use of AR in the future.
