Stereoscopic Vision [Was: Multiple cameras?]



Speaking of multiple cameras... Here is a very simple QC patch for do-it-yourself 3D anaglyph video. Grab two iSights, a firewire hub, and a pair of your average Captain Crunch 3D glasses with the multi- color lenses and enjoy! Note that the colors are not chromatically tuned for whatever glasses you happen to find. Adjust both the tint of the Color Monochrome patch and play with the iSight spacing and angles... YMMV. Please share anything interesting you discover along the way...

On a different note... Pierre, can you elude to the plans for QC and interfacing with the active-lens shutter port on the Quadro FX 4500 video card? Is there a way to sync the shutter with the QC timer so that a left-eye/right-eye image could be switched for full- color stereoscopic vision?

Also, how could one rapidly switch between two views of an entirely rendered environment? (Think 3D screen-saver...) Two Image Kernels with a similar QC timer and shutter sync? Or am I way out of QC's league at this point?

Regards,        John

Has anyone managed to feed video from multiple live cameras into a QC composition? If so, did you have to resort to writing some of your own CoreVideo code?

Been there, done that ;-) http://www.flickr.com/photos/bongoherbert/37707404/

It should work fine: just have multiple video input patches and select a different video source for each one
