#3D photo of fishing demonstration, for kids
Spokane Valley Fest, Spokane Valley, WA – September 2012.
Fishing demo (for kids) at the (fake) water fall and pond in Mirabeau Park.
Of interest, the only people to ask me about my 3D camera set up (two Lumix GH-2s on home made mount) were a group of six kids probably 2nd to 4th graders. They asked a lot of very good questions and I carefully explained how 3D photos work – they really wanted to know! One of the kids shared that she has an actual 3D video game system at home, and another showed me that she too had a camera, a quite decent point n shoot type. Good kids! Great enthusiasm for 3D!
Wiggle version (small for Google+ requirements) – click on the image and it will display in a separate window using the 3D wiggle method (no glasses required).
Red/cyan anaglyph version – click on image for full size version.

Morning Glory in #3D, Yellowstone National Park
This is a red/cyan stereoscopic anaglyph still frame from an HD 3D video. Equipment used was two Canon Vixia HF M301 consumer camcorders on a homemade mount.
I also photographed this as a 3D still image using two Lumix GH-2 cameras. However – notice the problem? The reflection in the pool really messes with the eyes in this 3D image. I think this means we need to be very careful about reflections, whether in water, or bouncing off of cars and windows.

MediaTek Launches “Cool 3D” – technology for #3D smart phone platforms
This would be a chip set and presumably support software for building 3D smart phone devices:
The “Cool 3D” suite for MediaTek smartphone platforms includes support for stereo 3D cameras and displays, real-time 2D-to-3D conversion and an optimal 3D user interface that is designed to provide consumers with a stunning 3D experience. Two distinguishing features are “3D Cool Shot” and “3D Cool Show”. MediaTek’s “3D Cool Shot” solution supports a cost-effective 5 MP, dual-lens camera, which achieves 1080P, 24 FPS 3D images, giving users a high-definition visual experience. The MediaTek smartphone platforms are the first of their kind in the industry to integrate the functionality of the dual-lens bridge devices into the main smartphone platform, reducing system cost and saving precious board area. The “3D Cool Show” technology substantially improves the stereo 3D effect with anti-fatigue capabilities, and real-time transformation between 2D/3D modes, allowing for convenient switching between the 2D and 3D displays. These solutions, which leverage MediaTek’s established 3D technologies from the DTV and Digital Home markets, are aimed at creating an optimal stereo 3D display with a custom-tailored 3D interface.
