Why stop at cameras?

So I actually stumbled across one of these units yesterday and got a chance to play with it.

Interesting.

Biggest surprise to me was that it actually has an autostereoscopic 3D screen. Decent, but a long way from great. Definitely enough to see that the camera seems to auto adjust convergence when you half-hold to focus.

It didn't seem to be able to auto-track convergence during a video shot though, which was a pretty big fail.

Also, the GUI needs some work .. 2D error messages at Z0 (screen plane) covering (in front of) images on the screen that where in the positive space "in front of" the screen plane. Sure you can read the "memory card full" message, but the 3D image in the background is destroyed completely.


I didn't have much time to play, nor to see any of the images on a larger 3D screen. Not bad, but still definitely a bit of a gimmick for now. I could see how anyone with an interest in 3D might want one, but personally no thrills for me (without having seen the result on a bigger screen).

No glasses (called autostereoscopic) normally works by having small lenses built into the screen that direct the left and right eyes to different sets of pixels that operate as different "screens" for each eye.
