While Nintendo is ramping up for its glasses-free 3D gaming system set to be released on March 27, LG is gearing up to release its own glasses-free 3d technology – this time in the form of a smartphone. 

The LG Optimus 3D, which is expected to ship this summer, features a 4.3-inch display for watching 3D movies, playing 3D video games, and even recording and sharing 3D videos.

“Every phone comes with two, 5-meegapixel video cameras for 3D filming, so users can create 3D content themselves and seamlessly share with others through Youtube 3D with the press of one button,” said Daniel Hernandez, director of European Product Marketing, LG Electronics.

LG has also entered into a new partnership with Youtube, which is part of a broader push into 3D entertainment by LG and the world’s largest online video site.

“3D technology has traditionally been reserved for the major Hollywood movie studios,” said Francisco Varela, head of Youtube Platform Partnerships. “With the new LG Optimus 3D, anyone anwhere in the world can shoot 3D videos, upload them to Youtube and share them with their friends.”

Multiple connectivity options, including High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) and Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) also make it easy for users to transfer their recorded content to other devices or watch movies or play games on a 3D TV, including those made by LG.

Three games will come preinstalled on the phone, including the racing game Asphalt 6, the sports game Let’s Golf! And the first-person shooter, NOVA.
