DXG claims only 3D Video Camcorder

1 Comment / Audio/Video, Home Theater, Gizmo of the Day, Portable / By /

3D Video CamcorderCamera maker DXG has their ‘3D’ video camcorder on sale at Hammacher Schlemmer. No, it’s probably not the only one out there, but it is somewhat affordable at $600. That includes a 7″ playback screen as well.

This handheld shoots video at 640×480 and stores them in AVI format, with an hour of video taking up about 1GB. It does take SD cards to increase its storage.

The camera uses 2 lenses and a ‘trick’ called parallax barrier to give the video depth without the need for special glasses.

We’d probably stick to a nice High-Def camcorder instead of this standard-def novelty. Perhaps 3D will improve to the point where it’s more appealing (and in HD!).
