Johannes Kopf, a research scientist at Facebook’s Seattle office, where its Camera and computational photography departments are based. Kopf is co-author (with University College London’s Peter Hedman) of the paper describing the methods by which the depth-enhanced imagery is created; they will present it at SIGGRAPH in August.

How to make Facebook 3D Photo from Stereo pair

Download the latest StereoPhoto Maker(ver5.29b or later)

I use DMAG(Depth Map Automatic Generator)64bit software to create the Depth map from stereo pair.
Grate thanks to Ugo Capeto 3D who made DMAG software!
Attention : DMAG works on 64bit Windows only!

I have tried it yet, if you do, let me know.

New Live Streaming TV site.

http://pervasys.com/

Just a test site for now, but you can do channel changing. 

If anyone has any live streaming video or audio URL's for youtube, twitch or else where please comment here and I will  add them. 

I just need an plain webpage or an URL I can drop in an iframe html tag.

HTML5 stereo view allows you to view 3D video on YouTube using specialized hardware and software. We currently support the following solutions for viewing YouTube 3D video through HTML5 stereo view:

NVIDIA 3D Vision

Configure 3D Vision for watching YouTube 3D (provided by NVIDIA)

For help setting up your hardware or software for HTML5 stereo view, select a link from the above list. Please note that the above links are not controlled nor content on them endorsed by YouTube.

Why is it called HTML5 stereo view?

HTML5 stereo view is a standards compliant way of watching 3D content using special hardware and software:

• HTML5 is the technology that we use to display video
• Stereo view stands for stereoscopic view, meaning the ability to show you a different image for each eye

HTML5 stereo view adheres to web standards so that new devices can easily support watching 3D on YouTube. YouTube aims to expand support for additional standards compliant devices in the future.

Turn Your Boring HD Videos Into 3-D Masterpieces on YouTube

Unless you’re James Cameron or Peter Jackson, sharing a 3-D video with your friends is damn near impossible. Which is a shame because that video of you falling down the stairs demands a third dimension.
YouTube wants you to share your amazing HD action videos in glorious 3-D with the push of a button. Beginning Thursday, all HD videos on YouTube have the option to be encoded in 3-D.
Before you start looking for videos in your YouTube account to convert to 3-D, consider the following, as the process isn’t completely turn-key.
First, the feature only works with HD videos (all the HD videos in my YouTube account, including videos uploaded over a year ago, included an option for 3-D viewing). To enable the 3-D viewing option for end users, the feature can be set in the “Edit Info” section of each video.
Second, in order for an end user to see a video in 3-D, he or she will need to set playback to HD as well. At this point, the 3-D feature appears in the options area below the timeline. Once 3-D is enabled, there are a variety of 3-D viewing options. For stereoscopic, color-based glasses, users can opt for red/cyan, green/magenta, and blue/yellow. Interleaved glasses are also supported. Side-by-Side view — the eye-crossing “no glasses” features — and HTML5 Stereo view are also available.
The steps necessary to view a video in 3-D seem a bit convoluted. But, hey, it’s 3-D. Having one button that adjusts the playback to HD, and automagically turns on 3-D probably would have been too simple.
Google explained how they take your boring 2-D video and turn it into in-your-face 3-D:

– We use a combination of video characteristics such as color, spatial layout and motion to estimate a depth map for each frame of a monoscopic video sequence
- We use machine learning from the growing number of true 3-D videos on YouTube to learn video depth characteristics and apply them in depth estimation
- The generated depth map and the original monoscopic frame create a stereo 3-D left-right pair, that a stereo display system needs to display a video as 3-D

Expect an onslaught of videos of various individuals punching at their cameras in the next few weeks as users test the service.

Ask Slashdot: Tips On 2D To Stereo 3D Conversion?

"I'm interested in converting 2D video to Stereoscopic 3D video — the Red/Cyan Anaglyph type in particular (to ensure compatibility with cardboard Anaglyph glasses). Here's my questions: Which software(s) or algorithms can currently do this, and do it well? Also, are there any 3D TVs on the market that have a high quality 2D-to-3D realtime conversion function in them? And finally, if I were to try and roll my own 2D-to-3D conversion algorithm, where should I start? Which books, websites, blogs or papers should I look at?"

I'd never even thought about this as a possibility; now I see there are some tutorials available; if you've done it, though, what sort of results did you get? And any tips for those using Linux?

3D WITHOUT GLASSES

12/21/2011 STREAM TV NETWORKS, INC. PREPARES TO LAUNCH GROUNDBREAKING 3D WITHOUT GLASSES PRODUCT LINE AT CES 2012

STREAM TV NETWORKS, INC. PREPARES TO LAUNCH  GROUNDBREAKING 3D WITHOUT GLASSES PRODUCT LINE AT CES 2012 Proprietary Ultra-DTM technology surpasses all available 3D viewing experiences December 21, 2011 (Philadelphia, PA) – Stream TV Networks, Inc. announced today that it will unveil its new Ultra-DTM technology at CES 2012.   Ultra-D is a next generation 3D without glasses display technology that surpasses all 3D viewing experiences offered to date. Developed by Stream TV Networks, Inc., the producer of the eLocity brand of mobile tablets launched first in 2010, the Ultra-D technology is strictly proprietary and leverages custom hardware, middleware techniques and software algorithms to create unprecedentedautostereoscopic 3D imagery. This technology will provide consumers with access tounlimited 3D content by enabling real-time conversion of: ·        2D content into 3D autostereoscopic (without glasses) ·        3D stereoscopic content (with glasses) to 3D autostereoscopic (without glasses) The Ultra-D technology thus supports the immediate adoption of 3D consumer hardware despite limited availability of 3D content. Real-time conversion of 2D to 3D and 3D with glasses to 3D without glasses works seamlessly with various content formats including Blu-ray, DVD, PC gaming, Internet, cable and satellite content. Another key differentiator of the Ultra-D technology enables customization of the 3D effect to address individual differences in spatial perception and the varying impact of 3D rendering on viewer comfort. The technology allows users to increase or decrease the real-time 3D rendering effect, adjusting for variance in content quality and source as well as personal preference so that consumers can use all Ultra-D products to achieve the optimal 3D picture every time. “We are extremely proud of what we have been able to accomplish with our Ultra-D technology. It is capable of creating a significant shift in the way people view media, comparable to the transition from black and white to color TV,” said Mathu Rajan, CEO of Stream TV Networks, Inc. “Our ultimate goal was to create a solution that addresses existing concerns impeding the adoption of 3D—consumer aversion to expensive glasses, viewer discomfort, variance in individual vision and preference and the slow creation of 3D content. It seemed we were aiming for the impossible but we’ve made it possible and will be sharing these hard-won achievements with consumers in 2012. Ultra-D is the next generation 3D technology designed to replace 3D with glasses and win preference over 2D devices.” The Ultra-D brand includes 3D-enabling products in the following categories: ·        TVs ·        Converter Boxes ·        Tablets ·        Desktop All-in-One PCs ·        Gaming ·        Laptops ·        Digital Signage ·        Mobile Phones ·        Digital Picture Frames More information on the Ultra-D product line will become available for the first time to members of the press at the Ultra-D Launch Press Conference at 8:30 am on January 9, 2012 at CES 2012. Additional demos can be scheduled by appointment at Stream TV Networks, Inc.’s CES booth #14815 in the Central Hall of LVCC during the tradeshow. Stream TV’s mission is to bring to market innovative products featuring state-of-the-art technology designed to enhance consumer experience and simplify their digital lifestyle. Its line of consumer products stands to take the media viewing experience to new levels through high end displays and graphics technologies.
