Create Your Own 3D Photos
Paul Coulton over on the Forum Nokia Blogs, posted an entry about a Java application that he created that can be used to create 3D photos! The 3D photos that are created are the kind that jump off the screen at you if you wear those funky 3D glasses.
It is a pretty interesting idea. Basically using the application you take 2 photos, the application combines the 2 photos into one 3D photo, and if you like the 3D photo it can be uploaded to the 3D photo website simply by selecting Upload from Options. Since there are no settings required to upload it makes the uploading process pretty easy. I tried it out on a Nokia N93i, here’s a thumbnail of the 3D photo I created.
While trying out the application I found one negative thing, sometimes when the Java application was creating the 3D photo it crashes with an out of memory error message. I guess the algorithm used to create the 3D photo is very memory intensive.
You can check out other 3D photos that people have uploaded on the m3DCam website. The m3DCam application itself can also be downloaded from the same site with a few different versions available for different camera models.

I too yesterday got the error messages but once I restarted the application it was fine. I think this is a great little application, now only if you could have the option to store the image on your phone as well?
I agree Werner, it would be nice to save the image on the phone memory or Memory Card.
Hi, a new version is now available which should resolve some of the memory problems you’ve been getting (still doesn’t allow storing the photos on the phone though - may be in a future version!).
