Some gadgets recently attack the “awesome” button in the deep, lizard part of your brain. At an Nvidia reunion Friday, my “awesome” button got smacked problematical by the Fujifilm FinePix REAL 3D W1, the world’s originally point-and-shoot, consumer 3D digital camera. It’s expensive, somewhat ungainly, and probably impractical. But it’s really cool.
The W1 is a trace of a brick, sure thing, but who cares? It’s 3D! The camera is black and glossy, and looks a little like a Sony Cybershot T-series with its large, slide-down close cover. It’s much thicker than a Sony T-series (but still without problems handheld) and it has – woah right away – two lenses on the front. It uses folks lenses to take two images, which it merges calm into a 3D picture.
The LCD on the back has a built-in 3D effect (no glasses necessary) with the aim of makes you giddy afterward a a small amount of minutes of using it. The back of the camera is decorated with buttons, and I couldn’t without problems get a hold a grip on the user interface in the a small amount of minutes I was able to worth it, but it was tranquil to switch relating 2D and 3D modes.
The 3D photos looked precisely and exhaustively 3D on a check with the 3D Vision kit. The 3D show mode wasn’t faultless, but it was sufficient; it was a little trace unfashionable of focus and we motto more or less ghosting in the foreground.
The Fujifilm W1 will be obtainable in the U.S. Soon, Nvidia understood. Don’t expect it to be second-rate; models imported from Japan now cost $600. The 3D Vision kit is obtainable right away.
