Researchers Invent a Way of Shooting 3D Photos Using a Single Lens
The applications of this on the consumer photography market are likely nil, but researchers at Ohio State University have invented a method of shooting 3D photographs using a single lens. The trick is that the lens is cut like a gem, giving it eight different facets in addition to the main face that "see" the subject from different perspectives. Custom software then takes in the image and processes the 9 different views to create a single 3D image.
