Front Facing Camera Used To Bring Glasses-Free 3D Experience To iPhone 4 & iPad 2
Jeremie Francone and Laurence Nigay who work in the Engineering Human-Computer Interaction (EHCI) research group of Laboratory of Informatics of Grenoble have figured out a way to use iPad 2’s and iPhone 4’s front facing camera for glasses-free 3D experience.
They have provided the following details on how their system works:

Too Cool!

Most impressive demo. The red targets seemed to best demonstrate the concept for me and actually seemed to be out of the screen. The rest all Appeared to be inside a box that you were looking into. Here's where the fanboys go ape lol. Imagine this incorporated on an x-box game with kinect functionality. Oh mamma!!!
-
^^^^ ditto... I agree w/ melvaius!
-
That was probably the coolest thing I have seen on an IPad or IPhone would be an awesome theme lol
-
What if there are two heads, a couple watching 3D movie in bed on iPad 2, who is going to see it as 3D?
-
Can this be downloaded? Seems like it should be available to the public to play around with.
-
very cool, but it would only work for one person since camera can read only one face. Will it work for two or more people?John
-
so cool. will it work with laptops with webcam.
-
it probably would work if it can track 2 faces or more. But I dont think it would work. It's still impressive though
-
wow only in the Iphone 4 anyother phone sucks
-
Rubbish, you aint gonna be able to watch avatar 3d with it! Same principle as the rubbish accelerometer ones!! Lol
-
Looks awesome, iOS 5 is it.
-
I can't believe how stupid people are thinking that this could be used to track two heads at once! Lol Sure the iPhone can track two heads but both people are looking at the same screen so it can't render two images at the same time now can it?
-
damn this look amazing!!1
-
tt means we can ply 3DS game
-
not sure but isn't the camera like a second person. would love to get my hands on this to check it out. It may possibly select only 1 point of reference so everyone sees the same perspective. just a guess though.
-
You can't play 3ds games haha
-
Dat was some bad ass **** there yoo. Haha
-
It is a kind of 3D graphic user inface concept. So, cool ~~
-
Tris was done last year on the nintendo dsi ,nothing new.
-
you guy realy need help do you even know what this means think about it apple must be kicking themselves in the ass right now steve jobs is like **** why didnt i think about this first apple is probly going to try to buy it from them and make it better.
-
What for? I mean seriously... Nice concept, but what use would SJ have for it?He made the camera that made it possible. They develop hardware, not much software.However, I would love face recognition for unlocking the devices... That would be sexiness....
-
Just because an invention is not intended to play 3D movie does NOT make it rubbish. Your comment however is.This could work great for displaying objects on museum sites or shopping sites.
-
This was done for the Wii console years ago when the bluetooth protocol of the WiiMote was released and everybody began to experiment with a WiiMote and the sensor bar connected to a computer... you can find that code in the web, it's free so you can try it out, you have to know C# though... but it is cool to see that someone is using the theory involved in this project and applying it to the iPhone =)
-
most likely patent it then set the lawyers on nintendo for stealing apple's patent lol.
-
Thats fucking badass Nice work
-
Not only was this done before, it was also incorporated into a Nintendo DSi downloadable game called "Looksley's Line Up".So yeah, neat and all, but not a revolution.
-
This won't work for that type of 3D.This creates a parallax or "window" type effect. In order for this 3D illusion to be effective, the user must move his head. The front cam reads this information and changes the image accordingly... the overall effect is like looking through a glass window. It deceives your mind into thinking there's depth based upon what we see, a single image with it's angle adjusted according to your heads location.Very different to 3D tech which renders two seperate images which take advantage of how our brains actually perceive depth.
-
I meant it won't work for movie style 3D. Would work great for model rendering however.

I need a doctor. I got lock jaw. lol
