Yes, Another "3D" Smartphone, This Time From Amazon

[makeitlittleer]

 Amazon smartphone:

The device houses an additional four front-facing cameras that work with other sensors to facilitate the software’s 3D effects. One source tells us these four cameras, which are situated in each of the four corners on the face of the phone, are low-power infrared cameras.

The device’s extra cameras are used to track the position of the user’s face and eyes in relation to the phone’s display. This allows Amazon’s software to make constant adjustments to the positioning of on-screen elements, altering the perspective of visuals on the screen.

The result is a 3D experience without the need for 3D glasses or a parallax barrier in front the LCD panel like the solutions used by the Nintendo 3DS portable video game console and HTC’s EVO 3D smartphone from 2011.

The Amazon Phone need only be an Amazon Prime Phone, not some weird, novelty-laden thing.

Though the millennial generation has never experienced the days of black-only schools and segregated public facilities, we are tackling the after effects of racial/social injustice birthed from the destruction of segregation. These contemporary civil rights issues remain: unequal access to quality public education, socioeconomic inequality, disability discrimination, LGBTQ rights, racial and gender wage gap, immigrants' rights, women's rights, school-to-prison pipeline, police brutality and persistent racial profiling.

Rituals in the workplace can reinforce the behaviors we want, create focus and a sense of belonging, and make change stick. ...rituals help people to feel more deeply involved in their consumption experience, which in turn heightens its perceived value.
