Camarada is a camera like no other. In Solo Mode it captures 3D photos and renders them in 3D GIF/video format so that you can view them without 3D or VR glasses. In Dual Mode it links nearby smartphones to form camera arrays producing true stereoscopic 3D virtual reality videos that previously were only possible with costly specialized equipment.

From now on everyone can preserve and relive memories in true 3D! No cable. No rig. No post-production. For free. 3D photos and videos by and for everyone.

Capture the first true stereoscopic 3D photo/video of your life and enjoy it INSTANTLY on your phone as a GIF wigglegram or hologram; in VR viewers/goggles with the built-in VR media player or with Red-Cyan 3D glasses and share your life's true moments with friends and family wherever they are!

Solo Mode: In this mode you capture true stereoscopic 3D photos quickly and easily by panning your phone from left to right. The 3D photo is then converted to 3D GIF/video. And you will then see your 3D photo come to life right in front of your eyes!

Dual-Phone mode: Camarada automatically links two smartphones to capture stereoscopic 3D videos. Then you can instantly enjoy them in your VR goggle. It is world's first and only mobile app that's capable of 3D video.

FAQ

1. Why is Dual-Phone mode needed to capture a 3D movie? I thought some "3D camera" apps can do this with one device?

You need two cameras capturing at the exact same time and from slightly different angles to have true stereoscopic 3D period. There is no way around this - it's physics and it's how our eyes work. Any "3D camera" app that claims to capture "3D" using one phone is making some tradeoff - either it's for inanimate objects only or it's not stereoscopic 3D at all.

2. Do I need phones of the same kind/model?

No you don't - you can use any combination of Android devices - whatever you and your friend happen to have. Camarada does the hard work and adjusts for the differences. If you happen to have identical phones however the software can detect and take advantage of this and in some cases render higher quality 3D movies.
