Sony is considering taking advantage of small screen 3D technology, but has stopped short of indicating that we'll be enjoying stereoscopic gaming in its Next Generation Portable.
Mick Hocking, the director of Sony Worldwide Studios' 3D team, said to Develop that the case for including 3D into portable devices was growing, but his team's focus is on delivering content to the PlayStation 3.
"[3D technology is] rapidly improving. The amount of new 3D mobile devices at this year’s CES show is evidence of that. As small screen 3D improves we may be able to deliver these high quality 3D experiences on smaller screens.
"But our focus at the moment is on delivering the highest quality 3D games viewing experiences, and currently this is best done on HD 3D TVs."
Whether Sony goes for 3D tech or not with the NGP, rumoured to be named Vita later this year, it will still aim to make sure the device is relevant to today's changing mobile market. "It’s a very, very competitive market out there, very different world from when we first launched the PSP," Hocking added.
