From 3D graphics to biometric scans: How your smartphone will get smarter                                                                2/21/13
Today's smartphones are much more than phones they are powerful, networked multimedia computers, and over the next 10 years they'll get more advanced. As a result, mobility is transforming many day-to-day processes including how we sell, communicate, collaborate, train, and educate. Your smartphone will have a 3-D display and a 3-D web browser, and you won't need special glasses to view it. So instead of just viewing web pages on your smart phone, you'll be able to go into environments, just as you do on devices like the Xbox. Alternatively, you'll be able to see things sticking out from the screen, again without the special glasses. So the 3-D web on your smartphone will be a game-changer for business. Rather than have to remember numerous passwords, you will be able to access data and sites on your smartphone using multiple biometric authentications.
