3D printing your lenses or lens hoods has been a thing for a while, and you can make some cool creations. Well, this 3D-printed 3D lens is definitely one of them. George Moua designed a 3D lens for a digital mirrorless camera, and in this video, Mathieu Stern put it to a test to show you how it works and what you can capture with it.
Now you can capture 3D Video with a single GoPro for only $50
Stereoscopic images aren’t new. In fact, they’re one of the earliest forms of 3D imagery available. They also seem to be making something of a comeback, now that VR headsets are becoming more inexpensive and easily available.
The Vitrima VR Lens wants to bring this capability to the GoPro. Describing itself as “The first GoPro lens that records in 3D”, the Vitrima works with a single camera, removing the need for any 3D post workflow. In fact, you can even stream live in 3D.
How to use vintage equipment to produce 3D photographs with modern cameras for $30 or less
3D photography has been rapidly coming back into fashion over the last few years, and with dual cameras now slipping into our mobile phones, it doesn’t seem too far off until the masses are able to easily produce it. Until then, we still have to get a little creative sometimes when it comes to producing 3D imagery.
In this video, Mathieu Stern of the Weird Lens Challenge introduces us to the Stereax, a device sold in the 50s which would mount onto the front of your camera and allow you to capture two separate viewpoints on the same frame of film, to be able to then view it in the future in all its 3-dimensional glory.
