The super sturdy scratch and crack resistant touchscreen glass called Gorilla Glass may be finding its way to curved phones in the future. Corning, the makers of the glass has announced a novel manufacturing technique to make 3D shapes out of Gorilla Glass.

The technique is an important one at this time when smartphone makers are seriously considering touchscreens that are curved. And now that wearable tech and displays are also going to make a big play, touchscreen glass like this is sure to become a necessity.

We'll know more at CES next week. [Corning via CultOfMac]
