Seattle is once again hosting this year’s Mobile Future Forward, a gathering of some of the best and most influential minds in the mobile industry to explore the latest trends and innovations that will shape the industry for the next 2-5 years. Hear experts and visionaries from around the world as they discuss, debate and decide what the user experience and applications will look like in the coming years.

For MicroVision, the future of mobile displays can be viewed in 3D. In fact, MicroVision will be demonstrating an early version of its 3D PicoP® prototype at the Visions of the Future session during the event. This technology enables a 3D viewing experience from mobile devices.  The company believes that as more 3D content are made available, 3D support will be the next logical step for its future line of laser pico projectors. With this new 3D PicoP® technology, users will have the ability to break free from small screens, and will be able to display 3D content of up to 100-inches in diagonal image size. In addition, MicroVision’s in-motion laser display technology is ideal for high-intensity, action-packed 3D mobile games, providing focus-free crisp images for a truly immersive gaming experience.  See it live in action:

MicroVision at E3

In case you missed it, MicroVision was at E3 last week showing how gamers can achieve a “larger than living room experience” from a device that easily slips into their shirt pocket. We showcased the “Made for iPod, iPhone, and iPad” SHOWWX+™ laser pico projector, that enables mobile game play on any surface at up to nine feet in diagonal image size.

We also featured several prototype devices that offer varied connectivity, multiple user experiences and innovative embedded solutions based on PicoP laser display technology.  This included an Android-based mini-tablet, which we unveiled at CES 2011, and a disc-shaped motion game controller called Sultan’s Ring.

E3 was a great success, and a big thanks to everyone who stopped by and said hi!  Check out our Facebook page to see pictures from the event.
