Palm Top Theater turns your iPhone into a mini-3D display

In amongst all the latest generation technology, there aren't too many folks discussing hundreds years old optical concepts. But the the idea's a driving force in the Palm Top Theater, an iPhone case that turns smartphone videos into a miniature 3D viewing experience. The peripheral utilizes three small drop down displays -- the rear is a full mirror with two half mirrors in front it, reflecting images from the phone display into what appears to be a three-dimension object -- and really, it a stunning little effect.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">The Palm Top requires the use of a proprietary file format that essentially splits the displayed image or video into three parts. The company's providing some video for users, as well as a converter app to make custom footage. The device is available now for around $36 -- not super expensive, though it's hard to see such a device as anything but a niche product, especially since the opening makes for a fairly limited viewing space. It would be extremely cool to see this on a larger space, but in the meantime, you're stuck with a little window into the technology. </div><div class="post-gallery" dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"><h3 class="title"><b>Palm Top Theater for iPhone hands-on</b></h3><br /><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/dsc07268_95x95.jpg" /> <img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/dsc07270_95x95.jpg" /> <img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/dsc07281_95x95.jpg" /> <img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/dsc07284_95x95.jpg" /> <img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/dsc07289_95x95.jpg" /> <img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/dsc07293_95x95.jpg" /> </div></div><iframe frameborder="0" height="349" id="viddler-bcc8754b" mozallowfullscreen="true" src="//www.viddler.com/embed/bcc8754b/?f=1&offset=0&autoplay=0&secret=101918400&disablebranding=0&view_secret=101918400" webkitallowfullscreen="true" width="545"></iframe></div>
