Karel Bata Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 I love this camera http://www.fujifilm.com/products/3d/camera/finepix_real3dw1/ The quality may not be great, but the fact that it does it at all, and allows you to view without glasses on the lenticular screen is amazing! :D Now they have a monitor to go with it http://www.fujifilm.com/products/3d/viewer/finepix_real3dv1/features/index.html No glasses! Products like these begin to address the question of how an enthusiastic newbie would ever get a chance of trying his/her hand at 3D. Up to now there was no way of of just picking up a 3D rig and 'having a go' like you can with a consumer 2D camera. Now you can. Of course it's very limited in what it can do, but that's so much better than the nothing we've had so far. My 2p again. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karel Bata Posted July 20, 2010 Author Share Posted July 20, 2010 Now Aiptek launch a budget 3D camcorder for $200! 10 years ago this would have been science fiction. http://bit.ly/Aiptek3Dcamera And here's the lenticular budget monitor to go with it: http://bit.ly/Aiptek3Dmonitor Next summer our kids will be making 3D movies on their phones! Blimey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cole Paquette Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 ooohhhhh..... liking that fuji...... don't forget the new panasonic 3D camcorder seems to be around a prosumer level camera. http://www2.panasonic.com/consumer-electronics/shop/Cameras-Camcorders/Camcorders/model.HDC-SDT750K_11002_7000000000000005702 I assume the Fuji monitor that has no need for glasses uses something like parallax barrier technology? (thanks, wikipedia!) PBT only works if you are in the exact right position relative to the monitor. but, hey, affordable 3D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Childs Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 First time post here Hi guys. I actually like 3D and when funds permit will certainly purchase a 3D TV/ cinema package. Will wait for prices to drop some though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Hulnick Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 The main problem with 3D is that you will need a screen much bigger than the 40-42" that are currently available. Even a 50" will be too small. You need an 8-10 FOOT screen to even begin to experience 3D at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Childs Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 I was thinking of getting one of those Mitsubishi 73" 3D Ready DLP TV's. That should be big enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Phil Rhodes Posted January 18, 2011 Premium Member Share Posted January 18, 2011 What's the situation with home projection of 3D? I had the opportunity to look at some 3D (a section of Avatar and a CG kids' thing) in a consumer electronics place yesterday; the technology appeared to be cross polarization on a TFT display. It ghosted like crap and gave me a headache. P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Hulnick Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 There lies a major problem. Ghosting, or image lag. The other is Cross Talk, when images meant for the left eye and images meant for the right eye suddenly switch over. This can cause stuttering and those head aches you mentioned. It looks like manufacturers are looking at using passive (like the cinema) rather than active shutter (home 3D) as this method has better images, is cheaper (glasses are same as cinema)and has wider field of vision.

Brian Hulnick Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Watched The Green Hornet in 3D last night and found the 3D even more gimmicky than Clash Of The Titans. That Seth guy gave me migraine (I so wanted to bitch slap him after 10 minutes)Not impressed at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Oliver Christoph Kochs Posted January 24, 2011 Premium Member Share Posted January 24, 2011 Good, innovative 3D technology needs face- / bodytracking. You will be able to see a little behind things when you move your head. This needs to be invented. It plays back i.e 3-4 videostreams for each eye and blends them while tracking your head or eye positions. This will need a high end computer thus making it more realizeable for the home market. I can't say if this technology needs polarized glass or anything but i think that this is the step to make 3D finally work. Anyways, I don't need 3D. It distracts from the essence of the whole thing: storytelling. It is just the same formal discussion as film versus HD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Hulnick Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Agreed. I want to enjoy the cinematic experience, not be pulverized by gimmicky looking 3D effects. I sill believe we are a long way from realistic and totally believable 3D effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Hulnick Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Watched the extended cut of Avatar again last night (in 2D) and enjoyed it a lot more without all the hassle of glasses (which kept sliding off) and darkened image. Will be interested to see how Tron Legacy looks in good old 2D Blu-ray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markshaw Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I'm still waiting for glasses free 3D using a projector. I hate wearing those damned glasses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Anthony Vale Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I'm still waiting for glasses free 3D using a projector. I hate wearing those damned glasses. The Soviets had that in the 40s. They abandoned it for the polaroid glasses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markshaw Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Well, it needs to be perfected and re introduced. That is a major stumbling block with 3D, those damned glasses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Hulnick Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 LG say that they have almost perfected Glasses free 3D. It should be available in a couple of years.They say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markshaw Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 And Toshiba claim that glasses free 3D will be available by the end of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Hulnick Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Crappy 3D movies, stop it already. Movie makers should concentrate on making the movies they are making better, not on gimmicks. Better screenplays, better acting and better directing is what is needed not objects flying up at your face every 5 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Cooper Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Products like these begin to address the question of how an enthusiastic newbie would ever get a chance of trying his/her hand at 3D. Up to now there was no way of of just picking up a 3D rig and 'having a go' like you can with a consumer 2D camera. Not quite. There was a bit of a 3D craze back in the 1950s and a number of stereo cameras were manufactured back then by quite a few different companies. Most of these cameras took 35mm film though I believe that at least one model exposed frames that could be inserted into a Viewmaster picture reel. In the early 80s, the Nimslo was introduced as an automatic snap shot stereo camera. That would have been one of the last stereo film cameras produced. I have heard good things about Fuji's W3. It's well regarded by stereo enthusiasts. Though I have also heard that the image quality is only so-so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K Borowski Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 3D is tanking. I hope they don't lose money at it with the R&D on these products taht few poeople are going to want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
