Sony Unveils the World's Smallest 3D Camera

Although 3D Cameras are nothing new to the general public in this day and age, the two new additions to Sony’s 2010 Cybershot line are offering something new to the technology. These cameras are the first point-and-shoot cameras that offer 3D imaging capabilities that utilise only a single lens.Mainstream 3D cameras (or stereo cameras) utilise two (or sometimes more) lenses to create a stereoscopic or 3D image by capturing two separate images from two (or more) different perspectives. The two images are then overlaid and by using red/blue anaglyph filters, polarization or viewing the images on a specially treated screen, it simulates human binocular vision to give it a three dimensional view.
