Novel method to convert two-dimensional video into 3D.

23 April,2011 04:42 pm

Two Bolivians, Ernesto Fernandez and Patricia Quintanilla, at a production studio in the capital La Paz have come up with a novel method to convert two-dimensional video into 3D, making a short film of the dramatic topography of the Andean nation.We saw that 3D technology was evolving and we decide to start an investigation. We didnt have the money to buy a 3D camera so we did some research and tests. We arrived to the conclusion that by joining two conventional cameras in a certain way, studying parallel levels and the distance between the two lenses, we could create an acceptable 3D image, Fernandez said.Quintanilla added that the investors and their company sunk $95,000 into the project, but the cost could have been far higher.
