FujiFilm 3D Digicam & Photo Frame Kill Stereoscopic Glasses

A billboard-sized lifelike 2D image is perhaps how far the megapixel race can get us. Yet if you want real breakthrough, look no further than the world's first 3D digicam based on Fujifilm's Real 3D System. The 10-megapixel shooter utilizes two lenses, located about the same distance apart as human eyes, for capturing an array of shots from various angles simultaneously. This is the heart of 3D, just like how the 3D USB webcam works. The major difference for the Fujifilm is that you can see the stereoscopic effect for your pictures without the need to wear a pair of lame 3D glasses.

So, to enjoy the stereoscopic illusion at home, first you need the camera which will retail for $600 this summer, and a 8" 3D photo frame with over 920k pixels that will cost you another several hundred bucks. To impress your friends and colleagues without lugging the photo frame around, you may want to show them the 3D photos, which are made with plastic overlay that function as a kind of 3D lens. FujiFilm admitted that anything over $5 per stereoscopic photo isn't going to sell, so we suspect the price should be around $3 during launch. It will depending on the camera reception whether or not the online printing service will see the light of day.
