Snap you own 3D images; with your Phone!
Filed under Tech, Visual Graphics & Images
If you have a Symbian phone (Nokia models in particular), and would like to capture/make your own 3D images, wait no more!
It’s truly amazing to have the perception of depth in an image, as many of you would know. There’s just one piece missing in the puzzle, as is with 3D one needs special specs to view it in its true glory!
Well, here’s the real deal. This App, called m3Dcam is made for Symbian, and does this job for you. Basically the app allows us to create our own mobile 3D anaglyph photos using the mobile phone camera by taking two slightly offset pictures with the result separated into red and cyan colour planes.
Another nice part about the application is that it is supported in a number of formats because of it being in java. To add to it, the author has made available specially optimsed versions for the landscape mode or phones with lower resolution cameras.
Sample from someone who’s used it:
Basically, m3Dcam should work on phones supporting Java (J2ME MIDP 2.0 and CDLC 1.1) which allows camera access through J2ME (MMAPI camera support). E.g. S60 v3 Devices like the N95, N73. S60 v2 devices. You may be able to use J2ME Polish’s device database to determine if your handset is compatible.
