Amazon announcement on June 18

This is interesting, especially given the developer questions:

> Are you interested in developing apps that utilize a novel type of sensor?

> Do you have machine learning experience? Please describe.

> Describe an innovative way in which you have used gyroscopes, accelerometers, compass, or other sensors in your app development

Those all involve positioning.

I'm betting it's the amazon phone with the 3D display that was leaked.

Indeed, it would make sense with people moving their head around. Link to rumor: http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB1000142412788732474410...

The video looks like a parody of an Amazon product announcement.

I'm not really sure how related this is, but T-Mobile is also having an Uncarrier announcement on the 18th: http://www.cnet.com/news/t-mobile-to-usher-in-uncarrier-5-0-.... I don't think an Amazon phone announcement would be the primary focus of such a "special" (according to T-Mobile) announcement, but I wouldn't be surprised if there is a connection - perhaps they are the launch partner for this hypothetical phone?
