New York, USA – Acer is stepping into the world of photography with a new camera that offers a unique twist – the ability to capture pictures and videos in stereoscopic 3D. This innovative SpatialLabs Eyes Stereo Camera was unveiled ahead of the upcoming Computex event. Not only does this camera allow users to snap 3D content, but it also enables them to live stream to YouTube and engage in 3D video calls on platforms like Zoom, Teams, and Google Meet.
The SpatialLabs Eyes Stereo Camera, set to be released in Q3 this year, will be priced starting at $549. Acer emphasizes that this camera seamlessly integrates with their lineup of SpatialLabs 3D devices, such as the Aspire 3D 15 SpatialLabs Edition laptop. These devices have impressed users with their ability to showcase glasses-free 3D content. Images and videos captured using the SpatialLabs camera can be viewed on various 3D-capable displays, projectors, VR headsets, or even on the camera’s screen itself.
The addition of support for 3D livestreaming and conference calls demonstrates Acer’s commitment to expanding its SpatialLabs 3D technology. The immersiveness of the 3D experience provided by Acer needs to be witnessed firsthand to truly appreciate the visual impact of objects seemingly ‘reaching out’ without the need for glasses. Compared to older glasses-free 3D technologies like the Nintendo 3DS handheld, Acer’s SpatialLabs camera makes it easier for individuals with limited videography skills to create captivating content.
Compact and lightweight, the SpatialLabs camera weighs 220 grams and measures 4 x 2.5 x 0.9 inches. With a resolution of 8 megapixels per eye, built-in “selfie mirror,” and features like Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) and manual adjustments for ISO, white balance, and shutter speed settings, this camera is geared towards both beginners and experienced photographers. Additionally, it boasts a battery capacity of 1500mAh, a microSD card slot for expanding storage, and a weatherproof casing housing a 2.4-inch touchscreen.
To live stream to YouTube, users will need the latest version of Acer’s SpatialLabs Player. Furthermore, support for 3D video conferencing, along with customizable depth features, will soon be available through the SpatialLabs video call widget set to launch in Q3. Acer’s venture into 3D photography and videography with the SpatialLabs Eyes Stereo Camera showcases the brand’s innovation and commitment to exploring new dimensions in technology.
