I was experimenting with some 3D lens positioning and took a photo of my Honda Fit car in the driveway. In processing the image, I discovered that items reflected in the windows and the car itself end up appearing further away in 3D space. Which is a very cool effect!
Now I want to find a building with mirrored windows and take some photos of that in 3D – should produce a very interesting depth effect where objects in the mirror really are more distant!
The end of the yellow boxes:
The venerable but bankrupt camera company Eastman Kodak has put the iconic film portion of its business up for sale.
Eastman Kodak said on Thursday that its selling the business unit, which includes its "traditional photographic paper and still camera film products." Film has been overtaken by digital imaging in recent years.
Sawdust Productions, an international consortium of three Los Angeles and Montreal-based production companies, has announced the launch of “SAWDUST,” the first 3D television series to be shot in 3D and 2D.

Google Invents 3D Video Conferencing for Notebooks & Beyond – Telepresence Options.
But from the drawing, their interaxial spacing is WAY too large to be useful. Let’s assume its just a concept.
The actual patent application appears to be no so much about 3D video conferencing as about using two cameras for either 3D or two separate 2D images, say, for a 2nd person sitting next to the first.
This goes with my sense that business applications of 3D could be more lucrative than the better known entertainment options.
Basically – a movie theater system that does not require 3D glasses to watch 3D movies: Optics InfoBase: Optics Express – A frontal projection-type three-dimensional display.
