Turn your GoPro into a 3D camera! - Yanko Design

The most basic requirement for filming 3D content is to accept two video sources (left and correct), accomplished by two lenses. Apparently you don't even need those anymore and my life has been a lie all along. You can literally shoot stereoscopic 3D with one lens now, and Vitrima's mount for the GoPro does just that!

The Vitrima Lens is a case with a twist. It snaps on the GoPro, and instantly turns one video stream into two separate channels, making your regular 2d GoPro a stereoscopic 3D recording device that you tin then view on your VR headset! However it isn't every bit simple as yous'd think. Yous tin't just take a video and split it in half and have 3D content. Vitrima Lens uses a clever orientation of mirrors to brand certain it captures the exact same content in both left and right channels with just the right corporeality of variation in order to make the resulting image/video popular out as if information technology were recorded by a 3D camera. To superlative information technology all off, the Vitrima's front end drinking glass panel is coated with an anti-glare layer, making sure you don't get annoying reflections and lens-flares messing with your 3D content.

The just perceivable caveats of the Vitrima are rather small-scale. Since the Vitrima splits the GoPro'southward recording capabilities into 2, A. You lot're recording at half the aspect ratio, which means your videos are going to be virtually squarish (viii:ix), rather than a sixteen:9 landscape, and B. Given the size limitations of the Vitrima Lens, there won't exist a massive variation between left and right channels, meaning it won't compare to the kind of depth you encounter in 3D films at your local movie theatre. However, given that the Vitrima Lens is a mere (reasonably priced) improver for your existing photographic camera, the very prospect of recording 3D is a rather innovative achievement!

Debuting just a yr dorsum on Indiegogo, and getting an Honorary Innovation Honour at the CES this yr, the Vitrima Lens is now completely out of its crowdfunding phase and is up for grabs!
