Ever
wondered how you have access to your Android-powered smartphone to consider 3D
videos? The people at China-based Weeview Inc. certainly did, and they have
develop an innovative accessory that may aid your Android smart phone in
capturing 3D movies.
Meet
the Eye-Plug, a USB-C accessory that may be plugged into your Android
smartphone effortlessly and adds one more camera sensor towards the device.
"With
the telephone camera, you can start to enjoy the different conventional method
of shooting, " notes the organization about the double-lens pictures
feature the Eye-Plug provides Android users.
The
Eye-Plug includes a reversible lens that pivots being either a front-facing or
perhaps a rear-facing camera. The accessory essentially brings together the
front- and rear-facing cameras from the smartphone with its own photo-taking
abilities to create a stereoscopic-type image.
The
Eye-Plug from Weeview is really a nifty accessory that is actually compact and
feather-light -- it only weighs 6 gr (0. 21 grams). The organization asserts
that the transportable accessory gives on-the-go users the possibility of
having something that provides great depth of area, but does not help to make
their smartphone bulky.
It is
made of ABS + PC material and sports an enjoyable tangerine color (among
additional hues). It has a good f/2. 0 aperture while offering support for HD
quality at 30 fps. The accessory works with smartphones running Google android
4. 4. 2 or even above.
Users
can switch the actual focus and adjust the actual the depth of area while
taking photos as well as apply selective focus following shooting.
Since
the Eye-Plug is just compatible with smartphones which support a USB-C link,
those with an old handset are from luck.
Another
disadvantage of the accessory is how the image quality it generates might not
be at par with that of the smartphone's camera. Moreover, because the sensors
are not equivalent, the color accuracy might be an issue.
However,
for those looking in order to shoot 3D videos that may be viewed on Google
Cardboard, the Eye-Plug does the task.
Currently,
the model Weeview demonstrated off at Computex 2016 is really a prototype, so
the company may potentially be making more adjustments.
The
final version is expected to launch later this year along with a spokesperson
disclosed to Engadget how the Eye-Plug would set customers back around $35
whenever it hits the racks.
Weeview does not come
with an iOS-compatible version of the actual Eye-Plug yet, but it's reportedly
in the functions.
