HP labs has had a good 2010. From its annual report, it appears that over 120 "technologies" (possibly covering software, hardware, patents, processes etc?) have been transferred over to HP businesses.
While this is the propaganda from HP labs itself, and should be taken with a grain of salt, the reputation of the labs in the computer vision community at least is solid. More relevant to this blog, the report has a small section praising the possibilities of mobile 3D and explaining HP's take on the scene.
From what I understand, HP's approach is tightly coupled between displays and autostereoscopy. HP's display hardware research demos don't have anything supersurprising, since they include the usual "paper-like" thin display technologies with a focus on energy efficiency.
A tightly integrated approach between displays and 3D means that HP is thinking deeply about how mobile/immersive displays and 3D displays come together. The implication is that you might see HP products with paper-like, super-thin, autostereoscopic displays sometime soon. Mobile 3D might go massively immersive.
