RED goes into detail about how the ‘holographic’ display on its upcoming smartphone will work

Here’s what we know about the Red Hydrogen holographic smartphone

If you’re a tech nerd, film buff, or camera enthusiast, you know Red. The brand is known for making modular cinema cameras but now they’re branching out to make its first phone called the Red Hydrogen. It’s not going to be a simple device, nor will it be affordable. Its pre-order prices peg it at US$1,595 for the titanium version and US$1,195 for the aluminum alloy model. The smartphone will supposedly feature a “holographic” display it calls 4-View. It won’t need any special glasses but will supposedly give you a glasses-free 3D image that will let you look around or behind the objects by showing multiple perspectives of what you’re watching. Its 5.7-inch display with “nanotechnology” can switch seamlessly from 2D, stereo 3D, to 4-View “holographic” modes.
