3-D cameras for the masses

[P3D Lincoln Kamm <3dstereo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I really don't understand why anyone on this list or in the NSA would think
that it would be possible to make a 3-D camera and viewing system (or
viewerless prints) costing just as much as cheap point and shoot 2-D cameras.

Does anyone on this list know a bunch of people that would have bought the
Loreo if it was $60, or even if it was $20.  I don't.  (I know I would have,
but I don't count in this example)

The point and shoot cameras of today cost in the $40-$260 range, and if you
want one with any optics of even a small quallity, you are not going to get
one for less than $100.  I don't blame the Loreo people for charging what
they do, I am sure it is based on what they can afford to charge.  And I
don't think any products come out these days with out test marketing.

Example:  The 3Discover viewer has a computer chip and motor inside it,
because that is what people said they wanted when it was test marketed.  And
yet I think they may have just wanted to push a button and have the next
image show up.  Instead the motor is often not accurate, and you miss frames.
If the 3Discover costs about $50 how can anyone expect a camera and viewer
of that sort to come out for less than $100, and especially if you want
quallity.

I find it humerous that people keep saying why can't KODAK do this, why
can't they do that.  Why don't you do it if you think it will be such a hit,
and you won't loose years of your life and all your money.
