3D Photographic System

The annual Consumer Electronics Show takes place in Las Vegas in January and if you thought 3D was hot in 2011, just wait and see what 2012 has in store. One company we're already excited about it LO3D, manufacturer of the word's first HD digital 3D photographic system.

Allen Lo (inventor of the Nimslo 3D camera in 1980) and company partners who pioneered 3D photo imaging - Nimslo 3D film cameras, Kodak & Konica 3D single-use film cameras - have been working together on this technology for nine years. Those attending CES will get to see the end result - the first commercial 3D Digital Printer, 3D Digital Paper for prints, 3D Digital Cameras & glassless 3D Digital Photo Frames.

Just one look and you can tell that LO3D's 3-lens consumer camera (pictured above) is different from your typical 3D camera. All other 3D cameras have only two lenses – which is fine taking video for TV viewing but not ideal for 3D photos because of a narrow viewing angle (approximately 10º). The LO3D 3-lens camera extends the viewing angle of a 3D photo to 50º.Read more
