StereoVision 3D VuCAM
StereoVision this morning began shipping the 3D VuCAM. Melding a pair of 3.2-megapixel cameras with a set of 40mm-lens binoculars, the VuCAM captures stereo images from up to 150 feet away from its subject or as close as 15 feet. The resulting 3D effect images are stored in a simple JPEG format, but can either be viewed though 3D software on a PC or directly on a 3D-capable display through an RCA output; they can also be previewed on the binoculars themselves through a pop-up LCD. Onboard memory is limited to 128MB of flash but can be bolstered by CompactFlash cards. The binoculars plug into any computer through a USB 2.0 port and should be available now for an unlisted price.
