In an effort to expand beyond the world of online retailing, Amazon.com is reportedly working on a high-end smartphone that would feature a 3-D screen.

The device would allow users to see 3-D images without having to wear glasses, according to the Wall Street Journal, which cites unnamed sources in a report Thursday.

Using a retina-tracking technology, the smartphone detects which way the user is looking at the device to adjust the image so it appears to float above the screen, according to the Journal's report.

The rumored device, which has not been confirmed by Amazon, is part of a bundle of technology being developed by the company. The report says Amazon is also working on another smartphone, a TV Internet-streaming box and a device that would stream audio-only.
