I'm going to get downvoted for this, but this video is hilarious when you imagine they're trying out some sort of sex toy attachment. Just watch it again with that in mind.

We still can't rule out a phone, though. For this type of video they don't necessarily use the real device. Another possibility (as suggested by the questions in the form) is that it's a sensor applicable to many types of devices.

How about just "the glasses"?

#24Earlier quoted context omitted.
> I don't know anyone who has been requesting a 3D display on their phone. Well, 7 years ago I didn't know anyone who was asking to eliminate physical keyboards from phones. I'm less skeptical of the merit of the idea (whatever exactly it turns out to be), than I am of Amazon's first generation implementation (based on owning 1st gen versions of Kindle eReader and Kindle Fire).
The thing is 3d screens have been a tested quantity (both on things like the 3DS and on a lot of phones in Japan). It's been far from a hit.
So does the phones without physical keyboards, using touch pens, until Apple figured out how to eliminate that damn pen and just use fingers and here we are today. I give it a benefit of doubt - I doubt that what has been done to 3d displays is all what can be done ;)

#25Looks like it will be a lot like this: http://www.getmoju.com/
I hope not - an application that does something that looks almost like video already available to any modern phone and requires motion to be displayed? Hardly worth the launch event, hype, marketing money&effort and doesnt seem any way revolutionary or cool to me. But of course, I might be absolutely wrong about it and that's cool too.

Looks like they're moving around a 3D cube on a tablet screen.

That works too well. I found the comment "that's pretty damn intuitive" the most funny with the image of it being a sex toy in mind.
