I’ve been playing around with an Aiptek 3D HD camcorder and fortunately for me, we’ve got a blizzard this weekend! This is what it was like driving through Minneapolis and Saint Paul in it today. You’ll need to be wearing 3D glasses and adjust the settings on the video from the 3D menu in the video player. Found at YouTube from davideerickson.
This video of a drive through Saint Paul was shot using the Aiptek 3D HD Camcorder. You’ll need to wear 3D glasses to see the effect and probably adjust your YouTube settings (using the 3D tool in the toolbar of the video), but once you’ve got all that set, it’s pretty amazing how well it works.
