Although past efforts to give smartphones 3D photo capabilities haven’t exactly captured the public’s imagination, that may not stop Samsung (005930) from giving it another shot. Patent Bolt has found a recent Samsung trademark filing for a logo of a 3D movie and still camera that will appear on future smartphones, tablets, digital cameras and other Samsung products. Because the trademark application was published just last week, Patent Bolt speculates that the new 3D camera will debut alongside the Galaxy S IV at Samsung’s big press event on March 14th. A 3D camera is just one of many new features rumored for the Galaxy S IV, as previous reports suggest that the device will have eye-tracking technology that will let users scroll through pages on their devices without having to physically touch their displays.
