stereoscopic lenticular screen monitors

[aostling]

Fujifilm will soon market this 3D camera, which has a pair of lenses with a 75mm baseline. This will give slightly more stereo effect than normal vision. The lenticular LCD monitor has an amazing 1,150,000 dots, so you can see the 3D effect on the screen with the unaided eye. It shoots high-definition 3D movies, too.

Or if you just want to do something strange, you can simultaneously shoot one lens at telephoto, the other at wide angle.

The implication is that soon our computer monitors may incorporate this technology. We could be looking at our forum photos in 3D.

Great! Highly argumentative, grumpy old men in 3D! Dreams do come true!

Yep, I still haven't gotten the point of The Simpsons in HDTV. Harrumph!

I never got the point of The Simpsons, period. But then, my taste in cartoons runs more to Bugs Bunny and the Roadrunner :-). Later.

Fuji co-developed the FinePix REAL 3D camera with Nvidia. The W1 version displays 3D images on the Nvidia 3D Vision system with polarized shutters.

I mentioned here awhile ago that the camera has been on the retail market in Japan for about a year. One of the marketing guys took a bunch of pictures of the LA Laker's Cheerleaders with it, and I have a bunch of goofy iPhone pictures of nerds staring at the 3D screen

I had a chance to buy one (they weren't outrageously expensive), but only someone with the 3D Vision system (or a lenticular LCD in the W3 variant) can see the images, so it didn't seem very useful.

I say wait a year or two on the 3D stuff, it will just get better and cheaper.

Its going to take more time than that. I give 5 to 10 years to figure out if it is just a passing fad. In the meantime we will be getting more crappy 3d movies shoved down our throat. Ugh.

Here are some pics that I took at TechShop with a stereo camera setup, these are the cross your eyes 3D.

You need to switch the images. They are currently for parallel viewing and are much to large for that.

Switch the images? You mean left should be right?
