World's First 3D Webcam Tested

Posted by timothy on from the didn't-like-the-others-they-were-all-too-flat dept.

CNETNate writes "The world's first 3D webcam not only takes anaglyphic images, but will let you have a stereoscopic 3D video chat over the Internet. It's the work of a unique camera called 'Minoru,' which has been tested and documented in a feature today. Be warned though: anaglyphic photography was clearly not invented to create comfortably-viewable videos."

    Am I missing something, or is this just two ordinary webcams that superimpose their images onto one another? Why did it take so long for someone to duct tape 2 cameras together?

    You missed something: the marketing hype. No it didn't take this long to do stereographic video.
