World's First Integrated Twin-Lens 3D Camcorder

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the i'll-call-it-shamdora dept.

ElectricSteve writes "Shooting in 3D has traditionally required a complex, bulky and fragile rig using two cameras and additional hardware to calibrate and adjust them. Panasonic's straight-forwardly-named Twin-lens Full HD 3D camcorder looks to radically change the 3D game, with integrated lenses and dual SDHC memory card slots allowing you to capture 3D footage immediately, with just one device." So there ya go, get started making your own Avatar.

      dito. I'm not looking forward to goatse in 3D though. it's bad enough without depth-perception of that bottomless pit.

    Now not only can our relatives bore us with their hours-long videos of their cruise, but they can also leave us with (worse) headaches and intense nausea! Now that's what I call progress!

    There may also be "other" applications. I'll get back to you on that.

    Before using the viewfinder insert the Operator's SplitView Eye in your head.

  7. 3-D won't take off as a serious tech until.... by jameskojiro · · Score: 2, Funny

    3-D won't take off as a serious tech until two way brain computer interfaces are as commonplace as cell phones are today. No one want's to have to deal with 3-D that requires you wear glasses or contact lenses or what not, it would be more easily accepted if you could just stream the data to your visual cortex along with all of the other sensations that "realistic fantasy reality" entails.

    Flittery jittery images in bulky headache producing glasses that appears somewhat 3-D won't compare to simulated optic nerve data being fed by a computer.

    I will wait for the iBrain or the iMind before I go "Full 3-D".
