Sharp develops mobile camera that films in 3D

SHARP has developed a 3D camera system for mobile phones and other portable devices and plans to begin production by the end of the year.
It will be the world's first 3D camera module for mobile devices capable of capturing high-definition video images, the consumer electronics giant said.
Different perspectives offered by each eye's line of sight enables the brain to process depth perception and therefore see images in three dimensions.
The system aims to exploit this by using two small lenses that can simultaneously capture separate images for the left and right eyes to create synchronised 3D pictures, said Sharp spokeswoman Miyuki Nakayama.
Sharp will start shipping samples in July and mass production will follow within a few months, Ms Nakayama said.
