Fujitsu is developing a smart way to allow cellphones with only one
rear camera to jump onto the 3D bandwagon. The concept is based upon an
attachment which uses mirrors to send two discrete stereo images to the
camera's sensor. The user then shoots their movie and uploads it to
Fujitsu's servers for processing.
Where it's aligned, has the
perspective created based on the difference between the two images, and
is returned as a true polarized-3D video.
Using mirrors to create 3D images with one lens isn't a new idea — a paper by Dr. Donald Simanek
from Lock Haven University demonstrates how easily you can do it
yourself — but this simple attachment and the use of cloud processing
could popularize the technique. One real issue we can see is that each
image only takes up around 25 percent of the sensor, so the output
videos will be nowhere near as high-quality as the 2D ones that your
cellphone's camera can shoot natively.
They can watch the 3D images directly on your smartphone with 3D viewer TOYin3D.
And while Fujitsu out these lenses on the market we remind you that you have in the app store applications to make 3D photos with your mobile now, as i3Dsteroid for iOS and Android, or PhotoCam3D for Nokia.
