University Makes Bad 3D Video for Cheap, gets Engadget post, makes 3D enthusiasts cry
Wednesday, February 17, 2010 at 10:49AM With a fancy name like The Scientific Analysis and Visualization Initiative, you'd think Weber University would come up with something better than two pocket cams bolted to a piece of aluminum, but hey - it does shoot 3D HD for under $250, so that's something.
Unfortunately, the nearest object is too close to the cameras given the stereo base, and the vertical alignment is off. Both of these issues are leading headache-inducers and do nothing to help the public's opinion of 3D video.
I'm not against building low-cost stereo video rigs - I'm for it! - but it makes me sad to see stuff like this get promoted by Engadget as a state-of-the-art discovery.
