The Only 3D Web Camera

We haven't heard from Hammacher Schlemmer in awhile. It must be because they were working on their latest product - what they call The Only 3D Web Camera. Just be sure you don't throw away your 3D glasses from any of this summers' blockbuster movies because you'll need them!

Here is how it works: Its "eyes" are dual cameras that record a stereoscopic image, or anaglyph using the same technology used in 3D movies. The two cameras can capture video at 800 x 600 resolution at 15 frames per second and it can focus in up to 12" away. The 3D video can also be recorded and uploaded to YouTube and Facebook, and the video is compatible with most IM services such as Windows Live Messenger, Skype, AOL Instant Messenger, OoVoo, Videora, Windows Movie Maker, and Stereoscopic Player. The camera also lets you display picture-in-picture videos. If you want to chat in 2D, simply switch to 2D mode. Sets of 3D glasses are included with the camera…but like I said…don't throw away any extras you may have lying around…pass them around to your friends!

To use The Only 3D Web Camera, simply plug it into your PC's USB port and it can either hang by its "arms" from your monitor or stand on its legs on top of your desk.

It is available now at www.hammacher.com/3dwebcam for $99.95.
