"However, true value of 3D experience by customers depends on the amount of 3D contents that are available. Over 99 per cent of consumers' digital photo collections are still in traditional 2D formats. With the D33P app, based on our 'D33P engine', we unlock that 99 per cent of content, transform them into 3D, and create the 3D experience on 3D mobile devices."

The release further added that, using D33P, a user can transform those Facebook photos into 3D, which means a user could expand the number of 3D photos drastically, even for photos that they had taken 5 years ago.
