Amazing iPad 3 Concept Video Will Knock Your Socks Off

The much-anticipated release of Apple's iPad 3 is likely to be just a few days away, with an Apple keynote scheduled for March 7. But if you find you're going crazy with anticipation already, here's a cool concept design to hold you over, one so good it could possibly beat out the real iPad 3.

Aatma Studio, a 3-D animation and digital content studio based in San Francisco, Calif., posted this jaw-dropping iPad 3 concept design video on their YouTube channel on February 28.

Since then, it's garnered more than 3 million views, and for good reason. In addition to showing a tablet that's streamlined and super-skinny (despite talk that the latest Apple tablet will be a bit thicker than its predecessor), Aatma's iPad 3 took Retina Display rumors to a whole new level, completely ditching the device's frame so that each one of its high-res pixels can be enjoyed from edge to edge.

"Although the tablet form factor is great, we felt the need for a larger visual real estate," Aatma Studio CEO and animation director Pramod Modi Shantharam told Mashable. "We eliminated the black border of current iPad and thought it would be a great visual experience for users who bring their iPads together utilizing their internal magnets."

The magnets Shantharam speaks of would enable two or more iPad 3s to connect physically along their edges and wirelessly through Near Field Communication (NFC), offering an even larger screen when put together.

Another innovative feature Aatma added to their design was 3-D holographic display, which would allow the kind of multiplayer gameplay shown in the video. This spec seems to be a favorite of the design studio -- its equally amazing iPhone 5 concept design, released in a video in August of last year, had it, too.

Unfortunately, it's highly unlikely the iPad 3 will look anything like this concept, but at least you can watch its cool, albeit hypothetical features in action in the video above. Let us know what you think, and make sure to check out even more iPad 3 concept designs in the slideshow below.

The ipad 3 is great. I mean njust by looking into the retina display, all the other tablets will be blown away. Remember, it's not the CPU or GPU that matters, it's the user experience. No lag whatsoever. The isight camera is also great. I just wish...

And by user experience you of course mean as candied up and dumbed down as possible?
It's a preference, some prefer the hand-holding of apple, some prefer the power of the android UI.
Only fanboys say one is universally better than the other.

Of course now looking back, this does blow the Ipad away, but what I'm truly ashamed of is the fact that we have most of this technology already, Apple just doesn't want to apply it. gevelwerken

Apple sent out the invitations for the March 7 event where the new iPad 3 and hopefully a new Apple TV will be announced. We of course don't know for sure what these devices will look like, but as a teaser watch this futuristic iPad concept from aatma studio.

I relay don't understand people's obsession with lying. It started (as far as I know) with the Iphone 5 and hologram function. I work in the IT sector and a day doesn't go by that people don't ask me have you seen the Iphone 5 and hologram etcetera. Than I have to explain how someone was making a fool of them. Than they get in a discussion that that that they saw is real. And usually (after half an hour) I come out of that conversation a little stupider than I went in.
This phenomenon seams to linked only to Apple products. It would be fun to see a response from HTC or Samsung. Something on the lines, their phones transform into robots and go fight crime, transform into nano machines, build a car in seconds and back into a phone. I relay don't understand whats with the laying and where is the limit?
Do people that use Apple products realize that they are paying for overpriced technology? Is their PR campaign so much successful, that people are paying and paying and are being fooled into thinking by doing this they are special?
Anyway, trust me holograms are far, far away.

That holographic chess game Chewbacca plays in the original Star Wars, totally going to be real in 10 years. Awesome.
