3D imaging may be at hand

Panasonic's New Sensor Can Take 3D Photos using  your existing lenses

3D photography has been  evolving   for some time, and in recently the pace  has speeded up. We've seen mny different techniques for shooting 3D photos, from dual lens cameras to specialized lenses. Now Panasonic has something totally different in the works.
This new  Panasonic  sensor has created allows photographers to use whatever type of lens they choose and still get a 3D image. The sensor uses a lenticular lens, much like those used in glasses-free 3D displays. The problem with the sensor is the same as the problem with these glasses-free displays - there's a significantly limited distance where the photos will work. We'll see if this is something Panasonic can solve once these sensors make it to mass production.
