It seems like all things shown in that 60′s animated sitcom Jetsons is becoming real; phone calls that lets you see each other, robots, 3D cameras. We can’t wait to see flying cars and hear our dogs talk.
In the meantime Panasonic, inspired by the Jetsons or not, is working on a 3D lens compatible with Lumix G-series mount. This means that the Panasonic Micro Four Thirds cameras will now have the option of 3D lens.
Panasonic still has not released the names of Micro Four Thirds cameras that are compatible with the lens.
The lens will have two optical path which will project right and left image pairs to the sensor of the camera. The duo images can be stitched into a 3D image with the use of the company’s 3D image processing system. Panasonic’s Viera 3D television can display the images.
Panasonic said it is the first digital 3D lens for the Micro Four Thirds system. According to the company, “This year will be remembered as the ‘First Year of 3D Era’ and Panasonic has already taken the lead by launching 3D-capable VIERA™ televisions and Blu-ray™ 3D Disc Players,” said Darin Pepple, Senior Product Manager, Imaging, Panasonic Consumer Electronics Company.
“With Panasonic’s development of a twin-lens capable of 3D shooting, the company is providing consumers with a way to capture their own 3D content, which they can then enjoy watching in the comforts of their own home. Panasonic is dedicated to evolving the 3D ecosystem, letting consumers create and display lifelike 3D images in their homes.”
The Japanese electronic company said the lens will be released/ made into the real deal by the end of this year.
No list of compatible Four Thirds camera has been revealed.
