Takee 1 - Holographic phone, a dream wrapped up in commercialism

There are advertising agencies that specialize in selling dreams. This time, they offer a holographic display in a smartphone. The technology from Takee 1 resembles that used in the Amazon Fire.

When watching a movie advertising Takee 1 you can have an impression that imperceptibly, our civilization has done an incredible technological leap by moving so far flat perception of reality in the third dimension and in a pocket size.

But no. Although the smartphone is equipped with - like the Amazon Fire - additional cameras tracking a face, but displaying a three-dimensional image outside the smartphone display is still impossible. Holograms are able to offer the illusion of 3D, but still on a flat surface, a nuclear explosion above the display, or the cutting of fruit with your finger over the display surface remains in the realm of science fiction.

The problem is the same as it has been so far: the image must be displayed in a medium which density differs from the ambient air. This may be steam or hot air (as in the case of mirage) - such devices already exist and are owned by eg advertising agencies. Such a technical solution for the smartphone is now theoretically possible, but - I believe - commercially completely unfounded.

If you want to experience the illusion of 3D on the screen without any additional equipment, get interested in the subject of active wallpapers based on the parallax - just look into Google Play or Apple store and type in the search parallax. Obtain whichever and watch. It works without additional cameras.

The most irritates me the ethical dimension of the advertising video. If I did not have the basic technical knowledge today, certainly I would be fooled by flashy animated images. In this type of campaigns a client can usually be fooled only once – it often involves a simultaneous destruction of the market for certain technologies. Amazon was more honest and much more reasonable in advertising its smartphone. In this advertisement I can't see neither reason, nor honesty.

Oh, I almost forgot: Takee 1 technical specification looks pretty good on the electronic paper: a 5.5-inch display, 1080p resolution, a 13-megapixel camera with Sony Exmor IMX135, 2500 mAh battery, 32 GB of internal memory, 2 GB of RAM and 2-gigahertz 8-core CPU MediaTek. There is to appear black and white version, also with elements of 18-karat gold. The problem is that still knowing these details, I feel as if someone wanted to mislead me as to the real nature of the projected image. Do I react hysterically?
