Marketing Hype and naming can have a great effect on perception. H4V (Hydrogen 4 Viewport) means exactly what? There are 4 cameras (viewports) on the device, however 2 face front and 2 face to the rear. So in effect you have a stereoscope camera that can record a image. Looking at both the Ops link and the one 3D-mobster listed what I come away with is a camera phone that emulates an old style camera with an aperture dial that can change what is in focus or not. On the other hand looking at the Leiainc website they talk about a nanotube plate that goes between the device and front LCD. Add the fact that the effect can be turned on and off on the phone it looks like a very small market, since none of the displays out today can show the effect. So in effect you can take this really cool picture and then invite all your friends over to look at your phone to show them your trip.

As far as Poser being able to create the images for this should be no problem as there have been dozens of threads on this site asking how to make stereoscopic images, and basiclly it comes down to make a scene render and then move the camera a small amount to the side and render agian. The math behind making the blur is simple as the further an object is from the camera the less it will move on the X axis between camera images, conversely the closer the more the X axis shift.

As a final question what does the phrase "better then 3D without glasses" mean to you? on one hand you could infer they are talking about 3D without glasses, but they really don't say anything about it being 3D just that it is better. Better could also mean Holographic which would imply that you should able to turn the phone and then see the backside of the thing you took the picture of, which is not really possible using todays tech.
