Ukuphrinta kwe-3D kuya ngokuya kuba nomqondo ngokwengeziwe emphakathini wethu, kuyindlela evame ukukhanya futhi imvelo kakhulu lapho kwenziwa izinto zokwakha nemikhiqizo, ikakhulukazi uma lokho okuhlosiwe ukwenza ithuluzi ngesikhathi esithile kanye nokucabanga okuthile. I-Apple iyakwazi lokhu, futhi njengoba ingafuni ukushiywa ngemuva kunoma yini, kungaba ukushayela okuzimele noma ukungathandwa kwabathelisi esikubona ngokoqobo, sekumele isebenze ngohlelo lwe-3D mapping ngokusebenzisa izithombe ezisanda kukubona kufanelekile ukuba kwenziwe ilungelo lobunikazi.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, ekupheleni kukaNovemba odlule, amahemuhemu ayeputshuka okuthi i-Apple yayisebenza ngokubambisana ne-LG ukufaka uhlelo lwe-3D lokuthwebula izithombe kanye nemephu ye-3D ezinhlelweni zayo zeselula ezihlelelwe unyaka we-2017. Kubukeka sengathi konke lokhu sekuqala ukuza yiqiniso, ngakho-ke, Ngeke kusimangaze uma lesi sici se-3D sokuthwebula sivela esandleni se-iPhone 8 entsha .
Ngenxa yalolu hlelo lokumepha, ngokusho kwelungelo lobunikazi, kuzokwenzeka ukuthatha izithombe zento, ekugcineni ezokwethula imininingwane yokuqukethwe kwe-3D esikrinini futhi sizokwazi ukuyithumela kwezinye izakhi zesoftware nezingxenyekazi zekhompiyutha, njengephrinta ye-3D. Lesi kungaba yisinyathelo esithandekayo, ngoba abasebenzisi abajwayelekile bamaphrinta e-3D bazoba nesisusa esisodwa sokubamba idivayisi ye-apula, ngoba kungenza ukwakheka kwabo kusebenze lula kakhulu. Le patent ye-Apple Ifakwe maphakathi no-2015 kepha ishicilelwe namuhla yi-United States Patent neHhovisi loHwebo.
