The bolded part I selected here is the most interesting part to me, only because that is so not like the sony we all currently know that announces stuff and releases it 3 years later or releases it now and doesn't announce it.

The 3-D Fortaleza and Sony glasses will first generation be wired using LVDS or Display Port which has both power and LCD direct drive. Second generation may be wireless and include a WiFI or 3G or 4G interface.
In any case these specs are able to directly support Phones and tablets with a number of Wireless (RF) protocols and frequencies; this is Orbis and Loop, Ecosystem and accessory support.
