Here are some of my 3D Postcards/Lenticular Postcards. Some of them I have since childhood (as you can see) and all of them are very kitschy and have a nice scratching sound. ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: There are so many wonderful and relaxing ASMR videos on YouTube. They are so inspiring! So I decided to make some my own… Just a little information: I´m from Germany and english isn´t my first language. So, if my english sounds a bit weird – thats the reason

Allen Lo from LO3D (Hong-Kong) is the inventor of the Nimslo 3D camera (in 1980). Together with company partners who pioneered 3D photo imaging – Nimslo 3D film cameras, Kodak & Konica 3D single-use film cameras –, Allen Lo has been working on 3D technology for nine years. LO3D presented at the CES the first commercial 3D digital printer, 3D digital paper for prints, 3D digital cameras as well as
Of course I understand that the sentence “Regular photography business is dying” in this article title is too strong. The most talented photographers will be in business forever. I used it just to grab your attention to the problem that regular photography business got recently after starting a digital era.
Nowadays companies like Canon, Nikon and others are making simple to operate yet more and more advanced photo cameras and lenses, adding more new useful features to the cameras, improving quality, sensitivity, noise reduction while at the same time cutting the price. Now anybody can buy a Digital SLR camera, read a digital photography book and produce nice quality photographs. Nowadays we have more very affordable ink jet photo printers available that can produce good prints. There are many graphic software programs for improving the pictures and making nice looking collages. The entire process of making pretty good pictures today is not difficult compared to the same process 10 years ago and much less expensive. That is good for the consumer but has put a lot of pressure on the professional photography business. Today anyone can buy computer, DSLR camera, ink jet photo printer and call themselves a professional photographer.
Today many people prefer to invite a friend to take their wedding pictures rather than use a professional wedding photographer. Those that do use a professional are expecting lower costs as there are many standard photographers to choose from. Now many people prefer to make the photographs by themselves without going to professional photographers and photo studios. That is why we can say that regular photography business is under great pressure.
Over the years digital photography has become common place and technology has simplified and improved the resulting images to the point where even large companies in the photo processing industry are closing down outlets. Those that remain are trying to regain business by offering large format prints or prints on canvas, things the general public cannot produce. Many large stores which do not offer those services do not have photo departments anymore where previously they had large profitable photo departments.
But there is a new way for photo business, the business that is not easy to repeat by everybody and with very attractive product for people! I am talking about 3D photography business.
There are several ways for taking 3D pictures and for most of them the viewer needs some special glasses for seeing 3D effect. That is not convenient for customers and not good for business. However there is one technology that does not need any kind of glasses. That is 3D lenticular technology.
3D lenticular technology is the most suitable for customers because people can hold the picture in the hands and see 3D, without crazy “crossing eyes” or having the special glasses. 3D lenticular pictures have the regular colors like regular photos; they can be in any sizes from small wallet size to big size for putting on a wall, they look like the regular photos just more alive because of the depth. That is why regular people prefer 3D lenticular images compare to other 3D pictures.
One of the main problems of making 3D lenticular images is a difficulty of taking the pictures and a very long and labor-consuming process of creating the pictures. For example, even couple years ago we spent at least 2-3 hours before getting an image, because almost all stages of process of creating 3D picture were manual. Of course, it is not acceptable for business because the price of each picture was very high. But luckily now, with modern 3D lenticular technology, developed by In-Depth Image Company , we can receive 3D lenticular picture in just 10 minutes and even less and most of this time is spending on printing because almost all steps of lenticular technology are automated now, for eaxample, process could be so automated that period of time between triggering 3D camera and starting printing could be as low as 40 seconds. This In-Depth Image System was developed for covering all technology steps in process of producing of 3D lenticular pictures from taking the frames to creating 3D image. This system is easy to operate, for example, we can teach the people how to work with In-Depth Image System and produce 3D lenticular images during 3-4 hours and people do not have to be the experts in photography or in computer.
In-Depth Image System can be successfully used in many different photo market niches. There are:
In-Depth Image System could be used for establishing of 3D photo business because:
Please, look at the real sample pictures that were made by In-Depth Image System below. Unfortunately we can not show the depth on these pictures because computer monitor can show the flat images only. That is why I created animation GIF files from the frames taken by our system. Originally we shot 12 – 18 frames, so 3D lenticular pictures are very smooth and without any rough jumping like on animation pictures. Or, if you have anaglyph glasses you could look at anaglyph pictures made from these frame sets.

The annual Consumer Electronics Show takes place in Las Vegas in January and if you thought 3D was hot in 2011, just wait and see what 2012 has in store. One company we’re already excited about it LO3D, manufacturer of the word’s first HD digital 3D photographic system.
Allen Lo (inventor of the Nimslo 3D camera in 1980) and company partners who pioneered 3D photo imaging – Nimslo 3D film cameras, Kodak & Konica 3D single-use film cameras – have been working together on this technology for nine years. Those attending CES will get to see the end result – the first commercial 3D Digital Printer, 3D Digital Paper for prints, 3D Digital Cameras & glassless 3D Digital Photo Frames.
Just one look and you can tell that LO3D’s 3-lens consumer camera (pictured above) is different from your typical 3D camera. All other 3D cameras have only two lenses – which is fine taking video for TV viewing but not ideal for 3D photos because of a narrow viewing angle (approximately 10º). The LO3D 3-lens camera extends the viewing angle of a 3D photo to 50º.
The LO3D 3-lens camera is able to produce 3D photos from a sequence of 2D images taken by any 2D camera with a sliding track, and 4D photos can be produced from a sequence of action photo or video frames ranging from 2 to 30 frames.
LO3D also has a 6-lens LO3D camera (pictured below) that will be unveiled at the show. It is designed for bridal and professional 3D photography.
Also at CES will be the company’s Digital 3D Photographic Printer. It operates similar to a standard digital 2D photo printer, yet is capable of producing HD 3D/4D/2D photos from digital images taken by any single-lens and multi-lens digital camera.
Several printer models are in development for different applications (consumer, professional, bridal, advertising and all types of commercial 3D images) and offer different 3D photo sizes ranging from 8″ x 10″ to 1M². As far as output is concerned, the G1 printer is capable of producing approx. 60 4″ x 6″ finished 3D photos per hour.
The 3D photo that the printer produces is printed on a HD Optical 3D lenticular Paper developed by LO3D (pictured below), utilizing an optical image compression and interlace technique. During processing, the chemical penetrates through the permeable Tio2 reflective layer coated on the back side of the emulsion to develop the image. The 3D photo is then ready for viewing, without laminating of a lenticular screen to the interlaced 3D image sheet, similar to conventional 2D photofinishing.
The LO3D product line – with its patented 3D printer processor and a one step process – will bring 3D photo imaging to the masses, making it economical for consumers at both the amateur and professional levels.
More detailed information on LO3D’s new products will be available at CES. We’ll be sure to keep you updated on this innovative technology.

INIRIA (Grenoble, France) just published a scientific paper in collaboration with University of Siegen (Germany) about a new 3D player they developed. As you know, depth perception changes when the screen is smaller or larger than intended ; they just found a way to compensate that effect directly inside the player without relying on a costly re-convergence step in post. This paper was presented at Stereoscopic Displays and applications 2012.
