Has anyone reported yet their use of two Pi cameras slaved together as a binocular pair and the output being processed in one of the many ways available for stereoscopy or 3D imaging?
In addition to the above, I was pondering ways to combine such a pair of still images or video streams with those forthcoming CastAR 3D glasses that we were talking about a little while ago, hopefully produced one day by Jeri Ellsworth's Technical Illusions outfit --- HackADay has a brief description of the technology (see Youtube and The Amp Hour for a lot more).
Since the retro-reflective screen happily sends back anything projected at it from each eye's vantage point, it should require no processing at all to view the output from dual cameras in full glorious 3D in CastAR, other than maybe format conversion. Given the low price of the Pi camera, this is sure to happen the instant the glasses become available.
(I was also wondering how the eye/brain combination would perceive the effect of dramatically increasing the separation between the two cameras when used with CastAR --- that's sure to be interesting, as it will allow parallax to be increased artificially beyond human range.)
And going even further, processing the dual images or streams for contrast enhancement or to pick out other desireable visual properties is sure to be of interest in many areas, microscopy being just one.
Morgaine.
