The popularity of 3D photography may soon get a boost from a new 3D camera and photofinishing system that was unveiled at International CES by Hong Kong-based LO3D.

The company is covering all phases of professional and consumer digital 3D photography, ranging from specially developed cameras to a 3D photo lab processor. 

The 3D cameras include a three-lens consumer (six lenses in a professional version) point-and-shoot model, which will ship bundled with an 8-inch glasses-free 3D digital photo frame. 

For those who want hard-copy 3D prints, LO3D also introduced an all-in-one photofinishing processor. The processor, which is intended for photo labs, will produce lenticular 3D prints from both LO3D’s cameras as well as traditional twolens 3D cameras. It will also perform conventional 2D photo processing for multipurpose production requiring limited floor space. …

The LO3D photo processor uses traditional chemicals, but the company has developed a special multilayer printing paper to produce images from its three- and six-lens cameras. 

The developing process is said to be very easy and fast. 

The LO3D paper uses a lenticular plastic that is part of the media, eliminating the need to laminate the back as occurs with more traditional 3D printing methods.  …

The all-in-one processor will sell for $75,000. The three-lens 3D camera will be sold as part of a kit with the 8-inch digital photo frame for a $300 suggested retail.  …
