With the advent of virtual reality glasses, the demand for 3D videos is growing. If you thought recording them was only for the dedicated (read for those with expensive equipment), you're right, because the Eye-Plug device, a "USB stick" with a pair of cameras, was presented at the Computex Taipei technology fair , which enables the recording of 3D images. The device will initially be available only for Android users.
Eye-Plug it is attachment with camera for a smartphone with a USB Type-C port that turns Android into 3D camera. What's the trick? The secret of recording three-dimensional images is actually very simple - it involves recording two cameras at a slightly offset angle, and considering that smartphones already have built-in front and rear cameras, for 3D recordings you only need one more or two additional ones. And this brings the Eye-Plug, which with the software then pictures even more automatically syncs and we already have content that can be viewed with the help of 3D technology Google Cardboard VR glasses, which are the cheapest version of virtual reality glasses.
The software also offers post-production playing with sharpness because you can subsequently shift the focus to something other than what was originally intended or increase or reduce the depth of the image.

Eye-Plug will initially only be available for Androids, and should be on the shelves still this year. And another good news. For a technological toy, you should ask for everything 30 euros. Other details are unknown, but the question arises regarding the quality of the image, since the quality of the camera of the phone and the device will often be different. But for such a price and for the needs of Google Cardboard, it seems that we will look at this device through our fingers, if we have to.
