Samsung is rumored to be developing new screen technology. This could change smartphone design. It might even lead to Apple's holographic iPhone by 2030.
A known leaker, Schrödinger, shared this news on X. Samsung's new display tech has the codename MH1 or H1. It uses a special nano-layer. This layer creates 3D effects without special glasses.
The technology uses eye-tracking. It also uses light-directing structures in the screen. This makes light rays form a depth effect. It looks like a hologram. PhoneArena reported this news.
If this tech works, it can show 3D content. It will look like it floats above the phone. It can still show normal 2D content in 4K quality.
The news also mentions new algorithms. These allow 360-degree interactive content. Users can move the phone. They can see video elements from different angles. This is like simple virtual reality.
Apple is also working on a project. It is called "Spatial iPhone". This phone concept uses spatial display tech. It blends digital and physical reality.
This fits Apple's strategy. They are developing spatial content features. This started with spatial photos, videos, and audio. It now includes mixed-reality devices like Vision Pro.
Analysts think Apple could have an advantage. If they launch a holographic screen phone, they will have ready content. This is because they are developing content now.
However, experts say the project is in early research. Making it a real product by 2030 is not certain. There are technical challenges. These include display quality, power use, and user experience.
Some predictions suggest this tech could start a new chapter for smartphones. It's not just about AI or performance. It could redefine screens and how users interact with digital content.
But, there are challenges. Will this tech work for everyone? People with vision problems might struggle with depth or 3D effects. Companies need to think about inclusive design.
