Research and development company Stereoscopic Optical Systems says its dual lens system, mounted on the lens filter thread of a normal camcorder, produces true stereoscopic 3D home movies that can be shown on a 3D screen within minutes.
The product could be available to consumers within 12 months - but that’s subject to the developers finding collaborative or joint-venture interest to enable the unit to be mass-manufactured.
Managing director Russell Wilson said: “It’s a passive optical system that produces continuous, sharp 3D images in a way that will bring costs down for equipment manufacturers.”
