Tired of capturing the world as 2D photographs? What if you could capture things as 3D models? That’s what Lynx A does. It’s the world’s first point-and-shoot 3D camera that produces 3D models with the push of a button. The company claims that “you can use a point-and-shoot Nikon, you’ll find the Lynx A even easier to use.”
Unlike traditional 2D compact cameras, however, the Lynx A looks more like a grossly oversized tablet computer. You’ll need to clutch it with two hands to operate it.The camera component comprises a 640×480 color digital camera and a 3D sensor for capturing depth information.
