I recently got a 3D camera to experiment with, and with them already going for as little as R2 000,00, depending on the exchange rate, one can only imagine how fancy and cheap they are going to be in 5 years’ time.

The reality is that it is actually a stunning experience to see a video you have shot or photographs of family and friends in 3D, and the only problem is that at the moment you can print them, at great expense in 3D, but otherwise you cannot really view them properly on your computer. If you have a 3D enabled TV – and I don’t – then you can also watch the videos and pictures directly from the device, onto your computer. I am not an expert on cameras, but it basically works by having two different lenses taking similar pictures at the same time and thus gives it focus and depth in that way and when you look at the image on the back of the camera, it really is quite an amazing way to show things and certainly if I would want to give somebody a perspective of, for example, an accident scene, or a house or offices, I would imagine that a 3D photo or video would be the best way to give people a proper idea as to the house or scene so that you get more depth to the picture. I actually cannot wait to see how this technology improves, as they always do, over the next few years.
