Holiday Snaps
The 3D juggernaut continues to roll on with new technology appearing all the time. The latest such technology to arrive on the market (albeit a rather expensive one) are 3D cameras which promise to allow you to take holiday snaps in full, wonderful 3D.
Approaching things backwards a little bit, your snaps, once taken, can be processed in one of three ways. You can connect them up to an existing 3D TV in your house and take a look at them whenever you want, you can send them to Japan (or at least, you can with one manufacturer) who will send you back the pictures on an ultra-modern equivalent of crinkle cut cardboard, or you can buy a special viewing screen.
The viewing screens are clever little things, like the digital imagers that have been available for about a decade, they rotate through your images in the background. The latest ones also allow you to use them as back up mini televisions, so you can turn off your pictures (they don’t have to be 3D) and watch normal television, or something like Sky HD should you so wish. Obviously, like their flat digital counterparts, these screens are expensive, but if you’re the type to take 3D holiday snaps, price is less of an issue.
The camera works in an ingenious fashion. Although just like a standard (if slightly large) digital camera it has two separate lenses, one which takes an image of the foreground, the other which takes an image of the background. The processor inside the camera (which is more powerful than the one which took men to the moon) combines the two images, mixes them together, and produces astonishing 3D images, all for the price of around £600 (although this will, of course, fall in the years and months to come).
If that doesn’t satisfy you, there are also cameras around that allow you to produce your own 3D video using broadly the same system but for a little more money.
Admittedly, it’s still a little way off before these cameras are able to produce really high class images, so don’t expect to be downloading video on demand shot on such a device in someone’s back yard any time soon. Still, with 3D technology developing all the time, it won’t be too long before the cameras are affordable and high enough quality to really hit the mainstream.
