bullet2 Stéréo passive

Complexe

Dépend beaucoup de la scène (objets, éclairage, caméras)

La plupart des systèmes se basent sur un logiciel qui utilise beaucoup de CPU

La plupart des systèmes stéréo ont besoin d'une calibration 3D (exeption des PtGrey Bumblebee calibrées en usine)

    • Bumblebee XB3

      he Bumblebee® XB3 is a 3-sensor multi-baseline IEEE-1394b (800Mb/s) stereo camera designed for improved flexibility and accuracy. It features 1.3 mega-pixel sensors and has two baselines available for stereo processing. The extended baseline and high resolution provide more precision at longer ranges, while the narrow baseline improves close range matching and minimum-range limitations.

Where to buy


Minoru from Novo is the worlds first consumer 3D webcam


Preorder“Meet Minoru, meaning ‘Reality’ in Japanese, the World's first 3D webcam.


Connect Minoru to your PC and he will come alive, his eyes will light up and he will be looking at you in 3D.


Your friends and family can now see you in 3D over your favourite messaging program like Windows Live Messenger, Skype, AOL instant messenger, OoVoo and many others.


You can also take 3D photos or even shoot 3D videos and upload them to YouTube.


Minoru = Reality!


Minoru connects easily to your PC’s USB port just like any other webcam but that’s where the similarities end. The Minoru software has stereoscopic anaglyphic processing that lets you be seen in three dimensions. The red and cyan anaglyph image produced by Minoru can be viewed by anybody who is wearing commonly available red and cyan 3D glasses (five pairs included free with Minoru). Minoru can also be used as a standard 2D webcam for anyone who doesn’t have the 3D glasses at hand.


Minoru will appeal equally to the 3D novice and the stereoscopy enthusiast alike.


Minoru is available now from major electronics retailers in the UK, EU and USA.

LINUX Supported


Date posted: Tuesday, 17 February 2009


Hi everybody,


I've just realized that my latest announcement to the linux-uvc-devel mailing list is awfully old. I had to do something about it, and I'm pleased to announce that the Linux UVC driver now supports the Minoru3D stereo camera.


The Minoru3D (http://www.minoru3d.com) is a cute, anthropomorphic device made of two UVC cameras mounted in a single case and spaced roughly the same distance apart as human eyes to get a stereoscopic effect.


The latest Linux UVC driver supports streaming from both cameras simultaneously at 30fps (up to 320x240) or 15fps (up to 640x480). You can download it from the Linux UVC Mercurial repository

(http://linuxtv.org/hg/~pinchartl/uvcvideo) or wait for Linux 2.6.30.


Please note that anaglyph (pseudo-3D image with red and blue or red and cyan components), "picture in picture" and "side by side" output provided by the Minoru3D driver on the Windows platform is not supported at this stage. This is an excellent opportunity for all of you to get into V4L2 application development and write a nice anaglyph Linux application :-)


I would like to thank Promotion & Display Technology for helping the Linux UVC driver development by providing both hardware samples and technical information.


Cheers,


Laurent Pinchart


We would like to thank Laurent for all his hard work in making this possible.

Minoru 3D Webcam launches at CES Las Vegas


Date posted: Friday, 02 January 2009


The award winning webcam that brings 3D video to the consumer

is now available for purchase worldwide

CES Las Vegas, January 5th – The eagerly awaited Minoru 3D

webcam gets its first public showing, and simultaneous worldwide

launch this week. The British designed 3D webcam has been

fascinating people around the world since it was entered into the

i-stage competition run by the Consumer Electronics Association. After

winning the Fans Favorite award, and a stand at CES, designer David

Holder has been preparing for the launch of the product.

“It’s been a fantastic process to see my design go from drawing board

to finished product. There has been tremendous interest in the Minoru

3D Webcam, and I’m excited to finally have products that people can

try out, and hopefully buy,” said Holder.



The Minoru 3D Webcam is a single piece with two cameras spaced

roughly the same distance apart as human eyes, for the stereoscopic

effect. This creates an anthropomorphic look that means users tend to

look into the eyes of the camera as they light up. The Webcam has a

multi-position stand that can sit or stand on a desk, or perch on a

monitor. Viewers wear special coloured glasses to see the 3D image,

and five pairs are included.

Minoru means “Reality” in Japanese, and it

reflects how users feel about the 3D image.

The Minoru can be used with Windows Live

Messenger, Skype, AOL instant messenger,

OoVoo and other video conferencing

packages. The camera can also be used to

take still pictures or record 3D video for

YouTube. It can also be used as a normal 2D

Webcam.

Designers coming up with great ideas


Date posted: Thursday, 11 December 2008


Designers are always coming up with great ideas to get the best out of a product.The Minoru latest webcam is a perfect example of it,the new webcam soon to be launched is very cute as it resembles the animated characters E.T and Wall-E.Not only that the webcam is good looking it has a very cool 3D image capturing feature.


With its two lenses in the shape of eyes,the webcam is able to capture a 3D image by merging both the photos captured by the lenses,however you need to see them with 3D glasses.It is promised to give you a 3D internet experience as it works almost with all messengers Skype,AIM,Windows Live Messenger etc and also works great with YouTune.Another handy feature is that,it will work without having to install drivers.


The price of it will be around $100.
