The Fujifilm Finepix Real 3D W1 is tough to explain – this is a gadget you need to see to believe. Firstly, there are no stupid goggles required.
3D magic on lenticular screen
This lenticular screen is where the magic happens – the screen shows the two slightly different images from different angles, so one of your eyes sees one and the other eye sees the second image, creating the illusion of depth. It’s the same principle as those holograms you got free with packs of cereal.
What that means is that you can take a photo and almost immediately see the 3D result on the LCD. The first time you see it, you won’t believe your eyes. In fact, it can take time to get used to focusing on the image, and you’ll notice some oddities with duplicated details in the background, but that won’t spoil your enjoyment of what is something truly special.
And it’s not just limited to stills – you can take 3D video, albeit only in VGA quality.
