Fly Eyes Inspire a 3D Camera?

After listening to a presentation in one of my other classes about 3D TV, I googled the topic and came across this...a 3D Camera?! Personally, I like my standard TV and camera, but this invention seems to open a whole new realm of possibilities! In the article it talks about how these devices would allow users to do the impossible and gives examples of its users being able to "walk on the soccer field" and "stand where the goalkeeper is."

Confused? I was too while reading the article, but check out the video because it clearly explains how the gadget works and what it will be able to do.

    3D products are definitely spreading to every industry these days.

    More and more movies are made into 3D theater vesion, more and more 3D TV being released etc..

    Even Nintendo released a 3DS, which allows users to play 3D games with the portable gaming system. It even carries 3D camera allows players to take 3D pictures.

    Nintendo is always being famous for its innovative/dominative position in game industry. And this 3DS is not an exception!!

    So it is possible that we will all get a cell phone that comes with 3D camera in the near future.

    This does look like a fly's eye and is a great example of the emerging movement called Biomimicry. Essentially, Biomimicry involved developing new products that are inspired by nature. Here is a link to a TED video that explains what biomimicry is all about. This is cool stuff!
