Recording things in 3D is no longer relegated to the world of professional videographers. Today, with a little bit of effort, you can engineer a stereoscopic camera from scratch using off-the-shelf parts and a Raspberry Pi. That's exactly what maker and developer Sridhar Rajagopal has done with this impressive Raspberry Pi-powered stereoscopic 3D camera project. This camera lets you both record and stream 3D videos in real time using our favorite SBC.
Rajagopal's project is built around a Raspberry Pi 5 and can be mounted to a tripod which makes it easier to focus steadily on your target subject. The video can be viewed using a browser, ideally from a smartphone which can be placed in something like Google Cardboard, allowing for the 3D effect. That said, you could still access the stream from a tablet or computer, you just wouldn't have the same immersive experience.
