Palm Top Theater puts 3D movies in the palm of your hand using peppers ghost technique. It is also an exhibition consisting of a device called i3DG. i3DG derives from the words”I”, “3D”, and “Gadget”.

i3DG is a playful analog extension to an iPhone or an iPodTouch, converting its 2D display into a layered 3D view. Using the old technique of
placing a half-silvered mirror at a 45-degree angle in front of an
image, in a new context, the project extends upon 3D displays and
iPhones. As a peripheral gadget, i3DG can support a wide range of
different applications, from 3D videos and animations to
accelerometer-based games.

i3DG was invented by Jitsuro Mase, a media artist, and produced by DIRECTIONS, Inc, a Japanese media production company. It has won a prize of an international competition, Ars Electronica Festival 2010 Honorary Mention.

This device lets you enjoy 3D movies right in the palm of your hand without 3D glasses or other gear. Both production and playback of the visuals do
not require special technology or equipment, such as shooting imagery
with 2 cameras or using complicated CG technique for image production.
