The thing that kills it for me is you have to install their proprietary charging station at home. Basically locks me into nissan unless I want to spend more money buying whichever charging station comes up next....
Seriously? This reminds me of the episode of Top Gear when they try to produce commercial for VW. This is exactly the kind of crap Jeremy Clarkson would come up with. In their own words, "Rubbish".
about 3 years ago I was interning at Epson and they had glasses free 3d lcd panels in development as well. The guy that sat beside me was working on a opengl wrapper that would work with any opengl applications (including games) and render the image in such a way that when viewed through the special LCD, you'd get 3d. The problem with these technology is that it's based on using slits if you will that shows different pixel based on angle. Problem with this is that depending on how many viewing spots you want to have, you have less and less resolution. For example, having only the center viewing spot, you have to divide the resolution horizontally by 2 (left and right image). in the case of having 8 viewing spots, you have to divide by 16. unless we start to have 30720 x 1080 resolution lcd panels, we wont see 1080P with glasses free 3d lcds. Another problem is that a small shift to the left or right will interrupt the 3d effect, since your no longer in the optimal spot where left eye will only see the left image and vise versa.
It's not Qualcomm's fault that the phone manufactures are still using their 2 year old chips, The snapdragon platform is much faster than the ones in android phones today, but companies like HTC hasn't moved to them yet.
