Sony develops single lens 3D camera

The electronics giant, Sony, has unveiled the latest piece of kit for the 3D TV market, a single lens camera that is fully capable of producing 3D images.

This is the sort of advance in technology that most of the 3D TV industry has been waiting for.

The new technology will make the production of 3D TV programmes much cheaper and therefore allow them to be brought to the small screen much faster.

The current 3D TV System uses the traditional two lens set up, but the Sony 3D TV single lens camera takes one image and duplicates it.

This makes the whole process smooth even when recording subjects at 240 frames per second, making it ideal for sporting events.

The viewer is still going to need to watch the TV wearing polarized glasses, as without the glasses the images appears as a straight 2D TV broadcast.
