Overview of ‘3D’
Term with many different applications / areas when it comes to the actual application of three dimensions (3D).
- 3D Cameras
- 3D File formats (below)
- 3D Printing
- 3D Sensors – detection of objects, people
- Can be viewed as subcategory of 3D Cameras, devices that use 3D technology but also include functionality for analyzing still/video/input materials for objects and output is textual information about how many objects detected, likely with information on direction of movement, speed, possibly also type of object (bag, car, person, …)

How to View Real “3D” Photos on a Computer
By Michael Antonoff |9 years ago

“The three-dimensional images captured by a Fujifilm FinePix Real 3D W3 Digital Camera are best appreciated when the camera is attached by HDMI cable to a 3D TV viewed with LCD shutter glasses, but what if you want to see the pictures on a computer while you’re wearing anaglyphic glasses?”
…
“The native format on the 3D W3 is a Multi-Picture Object or MPO file. In order to see the 3D effect using inexpensive red-cyan colored (anaglyphic) glasses, you convert the MPO into a stereoscopic JPEG file. It uses a JPS extension, which stands for JPEG-stereoscopic. You can recognize a JPS image because if you’re not wearing anaglyphic glasses, colors appear out of registration and the image is blurry.
Mac owners who’d rather cut off an arm than install virtual Windows do have alternatives. They can check out the Fuji W3 3D QuickLook plug-in, a freeware program meant for personal use.”

3D File Formats
- Drawings – based on vector graphics, mathematical formulas
- Photos – based on raster graphics, pixel images
- Video – movements
