Eat your heart out, Fisher Price. A couple of Seattle entrepreneurs today launched a Kickstarter campaign for Poppy, a View-Master-like contraption that turns any iPhone into a 3D camera.
Just pop your iDevice into the slot, twist open the mirrors, and capture your life in the same way you experience it in three dimensions.
By aligning the front mirrors with the optics of the iPhone’s camera, Poppy’s lenses combine the right-eye and left-eye streams into a single 3D video, viewable via the matching iOS app, on YouTube, or on a 3D-enabled television set.
“It’s beautiful,” co-creators Ethan Lowry and Joe Heitzeberg said on Kickstarter. “And really hard to describe or show in two dimensions.”
