This is tickling my memory of "why aren't there good consumer 3d cameras". I have a Fuji finepix 3d camera that makes awesome 3d pictures and even has a fairly crappy but working 3d display. Awesome even if the resolution is not great given today's tech. I'd love to shoot a lot of 3d pictures today and have my grandkids look at them sometime in the future with their then awesome 3d display tech. It's such a missed opportunity. Too bad the economics aren't working out :(

AI 3D conversion has gotten good enough recently for that kind of thing, just layered translucency is the main thing that doesn't work well. Some minor edge artifacts mostly worked around with dilating the foreground or generative infill. You can convert your whole desktop/browser/youtube etc in realtime at slightly lower quality than offline conversion with a 5090 GPU.

Good Sir, economics is never supposed to work out.

Yeah, hang on to your Fuji. I picked up two on eBay and treasure them. I also have a Panasonic Lumix DMC-3D1 (eBay) that is similar. You should get one too. Regardless, I currently print my good prints as "stereographs" and then use them in an old-fashioned stereo viewer. Kids enjoy that though. Man, I wish there was a service that would do this. So tedious. Cutting the prints to the correct size, mounting on chipboard backing for stiffness, rounding the corners for aesthetics… Claude and I created this tool for going from stereo-image to print-ready stereograph: https://github.com/EngineersNeedArt/Stereographer https://github.com/EngineersNeedArt/Stereographer

  Maybe I should buy a few of those: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256807100527325.html https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256807100527325.html The github looks fabulous. I have currently very complicated transition lenses which seem to make 3d perceptions harder. :(

My lab is working actively in that area :) We hope real 3d camera will be a reality in some years.
