Intel and Nokia focus on 3D mobile tech

Nokia, Intel, and Finland's University of Oulu announced a new innovation centre that will develop 3D mobile user experiences including virtual reality technologies like holograms. Forget Facetime on the iPhone 4, think Star Wars.

The Finnish facility is aligned with the new MeeGo open source platform that was announced by Intel and Nokia at Mobile World Congress in February of this year. According to both companies, MeeGo, which is the combination of Nokia's Maemo and Intel's Moblin, enables greater flexibility for an intuitive 3D experience on handsets.
