You bet! And wait til you see Alfred Hitchcock's Dial 'M' for Murder, it's shot in 3D. I predict by 1960, all movies will be made in 3D. Everything will be 3D: it's the Next Big Thing!
I'm pretty sure the "3D" tech in Amazon's smartphone will basically be a commercial implementation of this tech demo from 2007 except tracking your eyes directly instead of requiring an a pair of infrared light sources stuck to your head.
It's not true 3D but I find the illusion even better and it' much easier on the eyes. Seems resource intensive for a mobile device but it still strikes me as odd that no-one has really pursued this until now. Of course the illusion only works for one person per display but that's a pretty safe assumption to make for a mobile device.
I can't watch that video here, but if it's the one I remember, I think the guy responsible for that stuff went to work for Microsoft working on the Kinect project.

Try this link- it's takes off on the initial work showing it on an iPad. Very likely the sprinkle of
Holding your phone steady and using your finger to rotate objects to see them from different perspectives. Or rotating and tilting your tablet or phone around to create the same illusion.
And talking about tilt sensitive sliding menus... U better keep that phone steady.. Or u will have things pop in an out without u wanting to!
Battery life... Wonder how much the six cameras will effect battery life?
I feel is is mostly gimmicky than practicality. Time will tell!

Amazuniac
Amazaniac would be better.
