Wazabee (TM) 3DeeCamera avaible at iTunes

Since Dec. 3rd Spatial View's second application for the iPhone - 3DeeCamera - is available at iTunes. 3DeeCamera allows you to shot two photos (a stereo-pair) within the application and align and rectify these pairs to proper stereo 3D images. For know the user can choose between 3 anaglyph modes (red/cyan, red/blue, and red/green). As well you can save all stereo-images as anaglyphs or as Side-By-Side images for parallel and/or cross-viewing. The application runs only on the iPhone; if you're looking for something similar to use on the iPod Touch the 3DeeVUsion is suggested.

Wazabee (TM) 3DeeVUsion avaible at iTunes

Today was a great day. In morning I found in my inbox news I very appreciate: "Your application status is Ready for Sale". Apple approved the first of three application we were working on the last couple month. At Spatial View we're working on a couple of new products related to the iPhone and iPod Touch. Under Spatial View's consumer brand Wazabee (TM) we'll introduce at Macworld 2009 (Booth 4119) a new product line related glasses-free 3D viewing.

3DeeVUsion; a small application allows fusion and manual rectification of stereo-pairs at the iPhone and iPod Touch. It support any anaglyph modes like red/cyan, red/blue and read/green and SideBySide modes as parallel and cross-viewing.

Wayne Martin Belger

      Just few days ago I found in a Flickr group a link to the website: BOY OF BLUE INDUSTRIES: The Art of Wayne Martin Belger. Seriously it is one of most fascinating artists I've seen the last time. In general he is into pin-hole photography. That's cool I love this stuff. But he is building his own cameras - even better. Now it comes: most of his cameras using human skulls as body.

AND Ladies and Gentlemen - One Thing More:

He build a Stereo Pin-hole Camera called 'Yama' (Tibetan Skull Camera). The camera works (fine; I have to say - regarding to the displayed images on the website). He is not that freak as he appears on the first glance - he is a genius engineer. The Yama the Tibetan Skull Camera uses a pneumatic system to move the film. I don't want to quote his website, please go to link and have look onto it.

For me the camera is definitly a Must Have Object. 

The artist Wayne Martin Belger needs more exposure; behind the skulls is a solid founded philosophy about to do arts and photography. His work was published by magazines like, Bizarre, Juxtapoz, B&W and others. I was going behind everything I could found on the web. It is simply fascinating. If you are more interested he runs a well done website, with press-release and news and a gallery list.

Stereo 3D images on Flickr

I've put recently a bunch of new stereo images on my Flickr account. More will follow. I used my cell phone, a Sony Erricsson K770i to shot these. It was just a trial  - and I'm impressed by the quality. Guys if you are interested - have a look and give your comments. http://www.flickr.com/photos/dust-d-bugger/

3D Movie shooting in Cologne

Last weekend (February 1st and 2nd, 2008) we at Trimaris Ltd. did a 3D movie shooting in Cologne - primarily for use on auto-stereoscopic multiuser 3D displays. We've used a 5 lens camera by Muvi 3D (http://www.muvi3d.de/). The german actor and puppeteer Jürgen Wicht (http://www.wicht-theater.de/) was playing the german fairytale "Rumpelstilzchen" (Rumble Stiltskin) by the Grimm Brothers. We were happy to have Nils Trümpener on-board working as Director and Cinematographer. Sound engineer Friedrich Wohlfahrth (http://www.guddu-guddu.de/) did the audio-recording. You can see a documentation at http://www.flickr.com/photos/23500319@N02/sets/72157603856439991/.

Comin' At Ya! - The homoerotic 3D photographs of Denny Denfield

Second book I've bought yesterday: "Comin' At Ya!" - The homoerotic 3D photographs of Denny Denfield by David L. Chapman and Thomas Waugh. I have seen some of the Stereo-Realist slides before on eBay. Now is a full book incl. stereo-glasses availabe - published by Arsenal Pulp Press (http://www.arsenalpulp.com/) in Vancouver, Canada. ISBN-13: 9781551522258
These book is definitly a must in every stereo-photography collection. As well it comes with a lot gender and/or photo history related text material.

PhotoEd Magazine - 3D special

Yesterday I've bought the winter 2007 issue (#21) of the Toronto based magazine PhotoEd. A full magazine of 3D topics. And the best of it: It explains very simple what 3D / Stereo-Photography is and gives a easy to understand introduction and overview in the most 3D topics. The mag comes with anaglyph cardboard glasses. You can buy it in canadian bookstores or at their website: http://www.photoed.ca/

Cool Gadget #001: OQO e2

Today I did a closer look at the OQO device - model e2, the smallest full-featured PC. OQO (http://www.oqo.com) is a San Francisco based company. The founder Jory Bell was working in the design-department of Apple and did hands on the G3. The OQO model e2 is cheaper than similar Mobile Internet Devices - and the excellent design should work - in my eyes the best of all these Ultra Mobile PC's and/or MID's. Very cool looks the docking station with integrated DVD+RW/RAM. By the way the OQO design is by Nick Merz a former Apple guy. Amazing is the full HD support (1080 !!!) via HDMI interface. Best of all - comes with embedded HSDPA mobile broadband capability, unfortunatly only for people in Europe and Asia (yeahh - I live in Germany). The north-american continent is relativly underdeveloped with available high-speed Internet connectivity.

Definitly a "Build For Me Item". Would be nice to have auto-stereoscopic SeeFront 3D optics by Spatial View for it - to watch Sensio 3D DVD's without glasses. Awesome.

Dust-D-Bugger Alpha

Finally - we're online in some kind of micro alpha. You can Sign Up at Dust-D-Bugger and create your own account.

Currently I'm in Halifax. Meet some friends and ship my 3D stuff (a huge part of the 3D museum) to Germany.

Have the catalogue of Hagen Bäcker with me to display his works to a canadian audience.

View from my balcony - with "my " first snow this year: 2007-11-22. The 17th floor view. I love tall buildings - could be not high enough.

Currently I'm working on the auto-stereoscopic 3D presention of Hagen Bäckers artwork for the new building of the Music Academy in Dresden. I struggle with lights in these huge 3D model. I found some very good camera views - the 3D is excellent - only the lightning sucks totally. Once if I have the lights in final position I will do the camera moves.

Toronto - Girls Night Out

Very, very cool anaglyph 3D vinyl-cover "Girls Night Out" by a band called "Toronto" - neat. One of funniest pieces in my 3D collection. I've bought this last year very cheap. Guess this is to funny for the real 3D addict. I've got this last year from DrT 3D (look for 3d-drt-3d or try this link: http://stores.ebay.de/DrT-3d_W0QQssPageNameZstrkQ3amefsQ3amesstQQtZkm) - he has one of the best 3D shops at eBay you can find in the internet.

Canada Trip

Tomorrow I will go to Toronto the last time this year. Probably I will go as well to Halifax in the next weeks to discuss with friends there Dust-D-Bugger activities in Canada. In Halifax is an excellent art academy - the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design (NSCAD University) http://www.nscad.ns.ca/ and I have friends there: the Page & Strange art-gallery http://www.pageandstrange.com/. They have an wonderful portfolio.

A huge part of my stereo 3D collection - mostly Realist and/or glass slides as well a lot of 3D comics - is storaged in Halifax - I have to organize the shipping to germany.

Beside this: the party on saturday at Hagen Bäckers new studio was quiet excellent and a lot of fun - I did some photos and will upload the stuff in the next days - right now I'm pretty busy to prepare the flight to Canada.
