3D Camera

3D Image Capture from a Single Lens?

May 12, 2010

An Italian firm  has developed a prototype camera that can capture 3D imagery via a single lens using pulsed laser energy.

Although it doesn’t produce movie-style images, the FBK team see several potential uses for the camera. It could be incorporated into devices for elderly or disabled people to help them identify dangerous situations, such as those that could result in falls. It could also be used for Wii-like physically-interactive gaming, where the camera’s 3D sensing would eliminate the need for players to hold a controller.

Tachyon XC 3D Helmet Cam Review at Engadget

October 7, 2009

Engadget has published a hands-on review of the Tachyon XC 3D Helmet Cam.

It’s a pair of generally pedestrian cameras that, when joined at the hip, combine Voltron-like to do something rather more interesting: capture 3D renderings of your extreme endeavors.

Here’s another video from Tachyon of footage from the 3D cam (get your 3D glasses out):
