Where are all the 3D digital cameras and photos? There are 3D TVs, 3D movies, 3D games, 3D printers but, when it comes to 3D still cameras, the market is almost completely barren, our friends from ExtremeTech.com states in an article, “3D photography: Is there still hope for 3D TV’s stillborn cousin?”.
Sure, there’s a handful of 3D point-and-shoot cameras, but they’re not exactly flying off the shelves — but more importantly, the 3D smartphone market basically died a few months after it was created by the LG Optimus 3D.
There are a few reasons for this. First, we do most of our digital photo viewing on smartphones, tablets, and PCs — and while it isn’t that hard to find a PC with a 3D display, 3D smartphones and tablets are almost impossible to find. In the few cases where tablets and smartphones actually have a 3D display, they’re usually glasses-free — which is nice for the person holding the phone, but unworkable if you want to enjoy your travel photos to your grandmother. 3D desktops and laptops suffer in the opposite way: They require everyone to wear special glasses.
