Photographer Mark Hiltz designed and 3D-printed a functioning film camera. Unlike many 3D-printed cameras, as impressive as they are, Hiltz's camera includes a 3D-printed shutter.
Camero-Tech, a military technology manufacturer, has announced its latest artificial intelligence-powered (AI) powered detection system that allows soldiers to see through walls before attacking.
Earlier this year, Caltech's Lihong Wang showed off a camera that could shoot 70 trillion frames per second – that's fast enough to watch light travel. His most recent creation, however, goes a step further. While "only" 100 billion frames per second, it shoots in three dimensions.
After getting his hands on two broken Lubitel twin-lens reflex cameras, Iranian photographer Alireza Rostami found that the shutter mechanisms still worked, so he decided to turn parts from the two cameras into a homemade dual-lens wrist camera for 3D stereoscopic photography.
Turning your smartphone into a 3D-capable machine might soon be a lot easier than you think thanks to the Eye-Plug: a tiny little Android accessory that wants to add a second camera to your smartphone, and will supposedly cost just $35.
Remember the old ViewMaster toys? All you had to do was put in one of the special cartridges and you could go "sightseeing" in 3D. A new invention by entrepreneurs Ethan Lowry and Joe Heitzeberg harkens back to the old ViewMaster days, only instead of a cartridge, you have your iPhone -- and instead of just viewing 3D content, now you can capture it as well!
Tired of capturing the world as 2D photographs? What if you could just as easily capture things as 3D models? That's what Lynx A does. It's the world's first point-and-shoot 3D camera that produces 3D models with the push of a button. The company claims that "you can use a point-and-shoot Nikon, you'll find the Lynx A even easier to use."
A couple of years ago, FujiFilm sent a Real 3D W1 up to the International Space Station for the astronauts to play with in what we can only assume is their abundant free time. That camera yielded the pictures you see above and below -- which you can experience in their full glory with a pair of 3D glasses -- and now FujiFilm has sent up the updated W3 to hopefully continue this tradition of documenting life on the ISS in 3D.
It’s finally happened — companies are starting to realize that the two lenses on 3D cameras look a whole …
A compact camera probably isn't the first thing someone would grab when looking to make a photo with an extremely shallow depth-of-field, since the small aperture and small sensor limit it in this regard. That might soon be different: a recently published patent application by Samsung shows that the company is looking into producing achieving shallow depth of fields with compact cameras by using a second lens to create a depth map for each photo.
One day, ordinary digital cameras might be able to capture not just the image of a scene, but the …
About a year after launching the first mainstream stereoscopic digital camera, the FinePix Real 3D W1, Fujifilm has just …
A couple days ago we reported that the upcoming Nintendo 3DS will have a built-in 3D camera system, …
Gosh, and we though having HD video on a cell phone was enough. Sharp has just announced …
In 2007 NASA scrapped plans to include a 3D camera on the Curiosity Mars rover, which is scheduled to leave for the red planet in 2011. However, Avatar director James Cameron was able to convince NASA administrator Charles Bolden to include the 3D cam again, and is now helping to build the camera with San Diego-based Malin Space Science Systems.
