Sharp
AQUOS Phone

The AQUOS Phone (model number: SH80F) was claimed by Sharp to be the world's first Android smartphone able to convert 2D content into 3D content in real time. (LG had previously announced a dedicated software application for Android phones that could turn 2D games into 3D games, but Sharp's smartphone was able to do it in real time). Users were able to create their own 3D content using the dual eight-megapixel cameras built into the device. They were also able to view 3D content using the AQUOS Phone's parallax barrier system—which imitated the parallax difference between a user’s right and left eyes which Sharp claimed “enabled the display of vivid three-dimensional HD images without the need for glasses”. It was also possible to convert 2D images into 3D, and vice versa, simply by switching the parallax barrier on or off. The phone came with EA's Need for Speed Shift pre-installed and it was available to play in 3D. Sharp also pre-loaded a range of 3D videos and photos so users could experience the full capabilities of the phone.
