Word on the street is that Sony has developed a new movie camera capable of shooting stereoscopic 3D images with a single lense.

The new single lense 3D movie camera removes the complicated set-up required for dual lense stereoscopic 3D camera systems currently used. When using a camera with two lenses, one for the right image and one for the left, the lenses must be carefully aligned so that the resulting images maintain the same degree of 3D perception, otherwise either the image looks crap or viewers can get headaches.

Sony says their new 3D camera takes a single image and separates it into right and left images that are then recorded by individual image sensors. The light is split using mirrors, not shutters, so the recorded image also appears smoother.

Sony will unveil their new 3D movie camera at next week’s Ceatec show in Tokyo.
