While three dimensional pictures and videos may not be all that prevalent in everyday use yet, that doesn't mean people shouldn't be thinking of the future; that is exactly what they can do with the 3D Cone. It anticipates the future of photography by taking stereoscopic images that appear three dimensional to the naked eye. While there are not a lot of devices with the hardware to support such images, once there is, people will already have a slew of photos to enjoy thanks to the 3D Cone.
Conceived by New York-based Saturn3DDesign, the 3D Cone takes two quick pictures in succession from slightly different angles through the use of a specially positioned mirror. The 3D Cone is currently vying for funds on Kickstarter.
