LG and YouTube Team up to put YouTube 3D on Optimus 3D

Okay, you’ve heard about the LG Optimus 3D getting announced and its amazing specs.  But considering it’s named the Optimus 3D, 3D probably is the phone’s USP, right? Well yes, the phone does indeed have a dual-lens camera to capture 3D pictures and videos, and boasts a screen that will let you watch 3D content without having to wear any annoying glasses. But the biggest question is, where will the content come from?

A three-dimensional Tie-up

It seems that YouTube have got the answer to that. YouTube 3D, which has been offering 3D content for a while now, and even sells 3D glasses, has tied up with LG to offer a YouTube 3D app on the smartphone which will provide a pretty comprehensive content gateway to its users. It will allow owners of the Optimus 3D to upload 3D content onto the website, as well as watch content others have uploaded.

“The Optimus 3D is LG’s newest flagship smartphone. It is our answer to two major pain points of the current 3D experience - limited mobility and specialized glasses. Furthermore, our partnership with YouTube will ensure that our customers can easily generate and access ample 3D content,” said Dr. Jong-seok Park, President and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company.

YouTube’s Francisco Varela had this to say; “3D technology has traditionally been reserved for the major Hollywood movie studios. With the new LG Optimus 3D anyone anywhere in the world can shoot 3D videos, upload them to YouTube and share them with their friends. We’re excited to see the creative videos our community captures and shares with this new technology.”
