CompoBank Working on 3D Digital Picture Frame

Written on Apr 20, 2009 by Brian and filed under News

Last year Fujifilm announced a digital camera and digital photo frame pairing that would create 3D images for viewing on the frame, without the need for specialized glasses. Korean compyan CompoBank has made a similar announcement, with plans for release in Japan this year.

The 7″ frame will offer an 800×480 widescreen resolution, along with a multi-card reader and unspecified amount of internal memory. The display itself will employ a side-by-side parallax barrier method so the image may be seen by the unaided eye. Optionally the display may be shifted to anaglyph format which requires the classic red/blue eye wear. 

CompoBank also claims they can add a filter to convert both stills and videos from 2D to 3D. That goal along with their projected release of fall 2009 may be a stretch, but we like seeing them push the envelope along with Fujifilm, who’s solution is also scheduled for release late this year.
