Make Your Own 3D Video with Intel and Cineform

How would you like to make your own 3D video? Thanks to innovations from Intel and Cineform, you can. At CES 2010, WebProNews found out how it works.

One would think the process would be complicated, but according to Intel, it’s not. The setup is basic with 2 cameras on a single tripod. Each camera puts out a video stream and with the Cineform Silicon DVR software, the 2 streams are combined.

As a result, a QuickTime file is created that loops back to a TV. Without polarized glasses, consumers see 2 images. However, with polarized glasses on, consumers can see 3D.

If you’re still wondering how this is possible, there is a secret behind it all. As the Intel representative explained, a lot of horsepower is needed in order for this to work, which is where Intel comes in. Cineform’s 3D technologies run on Intel’s Core i7 processor.

This technology is currently available at Cineform.
