Abstract: A device is disclosed that utilizes color or polarization to generate two separate images of the same object taken from the two perspectives that correspond to the left and right eyes of an observer. The two separate images are captured through a single camera objective (e.g., a single shutter camera), resulting in a single image with 3D information encoded in the color or polarization. Advantageously, the images are captured simultaneously, permitting obtaining stereoscopic images of both static and moving subjects, allowing 3D video capture. The device can be an attachment to a conventional, single shutter, image capturing device, such as a camera, a smart phone with a camera feature, computer with a camera feature, and so on.
