World's First 3D Webcam Tested

CNETNate writes "The world's first 3D webcam not only takes anaglyphic images, but will let you have a stereoscopic 3D video chat over the Internet. It's the work of a unique camera called 'Minoru,' which has been tested and documented in a feature today. Be warned though: anaglyphic photography was clearly not invented to create comfortably-viewable videos."

Finally! My old, 2D webcam kept falling through the cracks in the floorboards.

Is it just me...

..or does Minoru [cnet.co.uk] look like the mutant love-child of Number 5 from Short Circuit and Stewie from Family Guy?

What you said is absolutely correct, including the UTF-8 part. And BTW, if you meant to invoke the voice of comic book guy without mentioning him, you totally succeeded. :)

We're lucky that Slashdot is still in good old 2-D. Otherwise my eyes would just have been poked out by your comment.

I also thought about making a 1D camera joke, but figured, "what's the point?"

Bad 1D geometry skill is where I draw the line.

All I can picture in my head is two executives on opposites sides of the world both looking like tools with coloured goggles on their heads - and having the whole thing on camera (I would "accidentally" record the video conference call).
