Spatial View updates 3DeeCentral iPhone app with 3D camera

Spatial View released an update for their 3DeeCentral iPhone app that allows users to take their own 3D photos. What sets this apart from the many other iPhone 3D camera apps is that the results can be viewed without glasses using their 3DeeSlide iPhone accessory (as well as with anaglyph glasses), along with their library of independent 3D films, including the works of great 3D filmmakers Santiago Caceida and Céline Tricart. Watch the video above for a demo of the new 3D camera function.

Nintendo 3DS now shoots 3D video!

Nintendo's 3DS, the portable 3D gaming system, now has a firmware upgrade to allow users to shoot 3D video. The latest version of StereoMovie Maker allows users to output side-by-side files from the footage. This was announced earlier this month, but we wanted to wait until some user-created 3D videos emerged to post about it. Check out the samples below. Don't expect any mind-blowing quality from these, but it is exciting to see 3D video becoming more and more accessible.

3D Camcorder: JVC GY-HMZ1U Unboxing

The JVC GY-HMZ1U is the recently released Pro version of the JVC GS-TD1 3D camcorder. Here you can see the unboxing of the camera and accessories, and an overview of all the camera's menus in each mode. The major advantages of this camera over the consumer model is the addition of 24p, and software to split the MVC files into left and right files so footage from the camera can actually be edited.

Stereo 3D Toolbox has also released a video of sample clips shot with the camera (in ideal situations only) and adjusted with their Final Cut plug-in. You can view it here.

More info on the Sony HDR-TD10 3D HD Handycam

The folks at SGNL have produced another video about the new Sony 3D handycam in response to the many questions people asked about the previous video we posted here.

While the video is very much a Sony sales pitch, it does provide a lot more technical info about the camera, including a planned patch for Sony Vegas Pro 10. The camera also can record to several flavors of SD cards. The interaxial is still TBD, but they said it's "about an inch".

A closer look at the Sony HDR-TD10 3D HD Handycam

The folks at SGNL produced this video at CES 2011 covering the newly-unveiled Sony HDR-TD10 3D HD Handycam. They don't reveal the details we previously blogged about wanting to know, but it does give you a hands-on look at the camera. Looks promising so far as it eliminates the difficulties with 2-camera 3DIY rigs, such as synchronizing recording/focus/exposure and properly aligning two cameras. It's unknown if the footage is compatible with the newest Sony Vegas Pro 10, which offers a lot of 3D editing controls, but they allude to new editing software coming soon that can process the 3D footage. We'll bring you more details on the camera and its compatibility with other 3D editing tools as they become available.

JVC Also Produces World's First Full HD 3D Camcorder Ever: the GS-TD1

This just in: JVC has also produced the world's first full HD 3D Camcorder!

Though most of the specs for the JVC GS-TD1 have not been released yet, it looks similar to the world's first ever full HD 3D camcorder produced by Sony, with 1080i recording on two lenses and two sensors, and 3D glasses-free viewfinder. However, JVC's has auto-parallax control, can shoot 3D time lapse and 3D still images, can record independent left/right videos or one side-by-side for easy 3DTV-viewing, and is $500 more expensive. Hopefully having competing camcorders will help drive down the cost of both. We're excited to see so many new options!

Sony Reveals new 3D Camcorder, the HDR-TD10

Sony's new 3D Camcorder debuts at CES!

Being touted as the first full HD 3D camcorder, Sony's promising HDR-TD10 3D Camcorder was announced at CES. There have been a few 3D HD camcorders trickling out since last year, but unlike Panasonic's HDC-SDT750, which shoots 1 1080i stream with the left right eye squeezed next to each other, this one appears to offer two separate video streams. And unlike Panasonic's consumer model as well as the Panasonic AG-3DA1 camera, Sony's foray has a 3D viewfinder built in! 

Of course, the press release, all the early mentions as well as Sony's website neglect to mention the most important 3D information: the interaxial distance, and if the lenses are parallel or converged.
