Intel and Nokia have been sittin’ in a tree since February, when they agreed to cross-breed their mobile operating systems and form MeeGo. Now they’ve identified the next front in the mobile wars: 3D interfaces.
Today’s announcement of the Intel and Nokia Joint Innovation Center doesn’t come with a lot of hard details about what’s to come, just the promise of “interfaces that are more similar to interactions in the real world” through 3D. That means a more immersive experience, like that pictured above, or a hologram of the person on the other end of the line popping up on your phone.
When we’ll see the fruits of those labors is an open-ended question; it’ll take several months just to staff up the lab.
