Fujifilm, one of the originators of the digital camera are coming out with an upgrade: the 3D Camera. It works in the same fashion as you eyes. It has two lenses spaced a few inches apart that take two pictures simultaneously from two slightly different angles. One the images are combined by a computer (like you brain does with your eyes) you have the illusion of depth. There will be two ways to view your photo as 3D. First with a special 3D LED frame that directs each image to a differnt eye and lets your brain do the work.
They unfortunately did not choose to go the low tech route and reinvent the View Master. Instead the LED screen will direct each image to the appropriate eye.
The second option is a 3D print that will use a plastic layer to direct the image to each eye.
While it's a cool idea, I'm not sure how well it'll catch on. But then again, I'm the guy who still prefers film to digital. What do I know?
