Hate or love 3D, but it’s definitely the next big thing - ok it sort of already is, even the upcoming FIFA World Cup will be available in 3D in some countries – but recently, Sharp just announced the industry’s first ever 720p-recording camera module for mobile devices. The miniature 3D camera that are aimed to be used on compact digital cameras and even mobile phones will be available for sampling in July before hitting mass production by the end of the year. Not much has been said about the 3D camera as of now, except that it uses 2 cameras to take images simultaneously and will require additional circuitry to process the images to deliver the correct 3D effects. Let’s hope it won’t be too pricey when it becomes available to the mass market, I’m definitely looking forward to testing one, and it’ll be even more interesting when used with the glasses-free 3D display that Sharp is working on.
