Ericsson Labs is showing off an API for navigating through a three-dimensional interpretation of the world based on real imagery powered by Saab spinoff (the defense firm, not the car company) C3 Technologies on Sony Ericsson's upcoming X10 (http://www.engadget.com/tag/X10/) -- and in a word, it's looking impressive. The buttons for controlling the action are a bit hokey, of course, but don't worry too much about that -- this is strictly a proof of concept, and the important thing is that no matter how much panning, tilting, and swooping through the cityscape the demo-giver does, video output stays above 30 frames per second. Thank goodness for Snapdragon (http://www.engadget.com/tag/Snapdragon/), eh? There's no indication that we'll see a shipping version of this app on retail X10s out of the box, but let's hope something awesome comes of this. Follow the break for video.Continue reading 3D maps demoed on Sony Ericsson X10, Snapdragon paying off (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/19/3d-maps-demoed-on-sony-ericsson-x10-snapdragon-paying-off/)
