It has only taken about two years for hand held touch screen devices to become commonplace, so why should it seem so outlandish that a phone that has the ability to project 3D images could actually soon exist? Designer Mac Funamizu believes devices like his Cobalto concept mobile phone prototype will be market ready in only a few years.
Imagine having the ability to talk to your friend on the phone while seeing a 3D representation of them pop up from your mobile. The Cobalto concept mobile phone might still seem like some fantasy to you now, but I bet in ten years you'll will be referring to it as "old school."
