Stereoscopic Stillframe Imaging

[Xittenn]

Are we going to be seeing a trend towards cameras that produce stereoscopic stillframes? I haven't seen or heard anything yet about a move towards a new format.

 

How would everyone feel about such a move? This would be especially exciting if still's could be printed in full colour spectrum holographic, which they can't.

 

I wonder when professional photographers will make the move. . . . .

 

or at least offer the option!

 

3D Stillframe picture viewers lol . . . .

There are two types of 3D photo\film taking, one is depth-realized 3D .. which need special camera for that,

 

the full 3D for an object needs you to take 360 spherical degree set of shots,

processed by a graphical algorithm to produce a 3D object on the computer ...

 

what would be interesting, is that if we can actually capture reality during some time, so that

we can tour inside those copies later, like if we can just visit paris from home

I had a 3D stillframe stereoscopic viewer when I was a kid.

Ha, so did I. Probably one of my few toys, I can't believe I forgot. It's been over twenty years since I've seen one.

That's awesome guys!

 

 

I think though for present day stills on someone's mantle, there would be need for technologies to allow those who are viewing with glasses to see 3D, and without to see a normal picture.

Full 3D holograms are a pretty cool idea and realization of full spatial recordings would be mind blowing. I was just thinking though, with respect to the new 3D market. Maybe we will be seeing 3D photo albums and stuff. The technology might still be rather impractical with its need for the glasses. Who would want to put on the glasses every time just to see someone's family photo?

There are displays around that don't require glasses, such as the 3DS.

They are still stereoscopic, but use prisims or similar to make you see a different image from different angles.

They have the drawback of a rather limited range of viewing positions, but this is improving -- wider angle at least, I don't know if anything can be done about the limited distance range other than head tracking (which only works for one person).

Well that explains the commercial, I was like, but it's already 3D. They have phones and stuff too, so then there must be a certain standard for professional 3D still frame equipment. Apparently the first single lens 3D still camera released to the standard market was by Sony last year. I'm feeling a bit behind now, I guess that's what happens when you give up television and watch commercial free content only.

 

I remember an arcade game back in the 90's being holographic . . . .

 

I'll have to incorporate 3D rendering and manipulation into my scientific computing engine!
