Nice DIY pick from another iOS related Blogger

Two german Bloggers did a DIY project and uploaded it to Youtube (german). They built a cheap wooden rig for two iPhones4/4S to capture 3-D content. Original blog post on padlive.de

First pics of my DIY 6 view camera rig

Hi everybody! Fifteen months ago, I built this stable alu rig that can take up to six Canon TX1 synched with the mighty Stereo Data Maker. I never used it before, because until this week end I feared to have more than two a/v streams to handle. But I plan to soon start using COSIMA with its video features. I attended a well done talk by Peter Herbig, the creator of COSIMA at the 3Dimensionale in Vienna. The rig was CNC milled from a single metal plate with the Frontplatten-Designer, a simple and free CAD tool provided by the Schaeffer AG. With a few extra nuts, bolts and 90 degree flanges and some foam tube handle bars it forms to this :

Motorola zoom can play trueColor3D over/und clips in portrait mode

I recently took a coach to Vienna to attend the http://www.3dimensionale.at and found myself sitting next to a zoom 1 user. I showed him the KMQ s3D viewing method on my iPad and we also tried to watch one of the KMQ clips on vimeo. After many disappointing failed attempts with older Android tablets who always forced video to landscape orientation, I was surprised - the zoom was able to play a portrait video in portrait orientation.

How to best watch trueColor3D video clips on Android tablets

I recently saw a trueColor3D video on a Samsung Galaxy Tab using the over/under method similar to my iPad experience.
Unfortunately the native Android Apps for vimeo and Youtube both limit playback to landscape videos, so I recommend to use the webBrowser to visit these sites.
And the limitations of framesizes and bandwidth are more strict as on my old iPad1.
There are some videos that play fine on iOS 4.2 but bring an "unknown" error on Android 2.3.x

If anyone knows more about these obscure limits, please tell me more, so I can finetune the presets of trueColor3D.exe
