Acer has unveiled the new SpatialLabs Eyes Stereo Camera specifically for those who want to take 3D photos and videos. Users can not only use it to capture 3D content, but also to livestream in 3D on YouTube and other platforms, as well as to make 3D video calls on Teams, Zoom and Google Meet. The company describes the camera as “compact” and “pocket-sized,” with dimensions measuring 4 x 2.6 x 0.9 inches.
It has a resolution of 8 megapixels per eye and a built-in selfie mirror encased in a weather-proof shell. The more casual users can take advantage of its Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) feature, along with its auto and touch focus capabilities. But experienced photographers can customize their output as much as they want to in manual mode, which will allow them to adjust the camera’s ISO, white balance and shutter speed settings.
The camera’s 3D livestreaming feature will be enabled by version 3.0 of Acer’s SpatialLabs Player, while high-resolution 3D video conferencing will be made possible through the company’s SpatialLabs video call widget. It will, of course, be compatible with Acer’s range of SpatialLabs devices, including laptops with glasses-free 3D screens. But you can view 3D content captured by the device even on other companies’ AR or VR headsets and 3D projectors.
The Acer SpatialLabs Eyes Stereo Camera will be available in the third quarter of the year with prices starting at $549 or €549 in the US and in Europe, respectively.
