Despite what most webcams would have you believe, the world around us is not flat. It’s 3D, innit? And that’s precisely why the idiot-proof Minoru 3D Webcam is such a groundbreaking gizmo. In fact it’s the world’s first 3D webcam!

Capable of creating a mind-blowing stereoscopic effect, this USB-friendly camera will have you and your online buddies cowering behind your keyboards in awe as noses, fingers and anything else you’d care to thrust forth are given genuine depth and incredible reach-out-and-touch realism.


Yes, you’ve got to wear a pair of old-school 3D glasses but that just adds to the fun – well we think it does ‘cos they look really silly. Besides, who cares about faintly ridiculous face furniture when friends and family can see you in eye-popping 3D, over messaging programs such as Windows Live Messenger, Skype, AOL Instant Messenger, OoVoo and many more. You can even use this three-legged thingamabob to take 3D photos and shoot 3D videos which you can upload to YouTube.


Particularly impressive if you know any long-nosed, spear-wielding dinosaurs, the Minoru (which means ‘reality’ in Japanese) features dual cameras spaced about a face-width apart. Don’t ask why, we’ve been too busy jabbing rubber sharks at ours to bother with the boring techie stuff.

Speaking of sharks, setting up the Minoru is easier than spotting the bad acting in Jaws 3D – simply attach the cam to your screen using its springy legs, hook up to your PC’s USB port, set the red and blue levels and you’re away. This strange crittercam even has eyes that light up as it watches you in gobsmacking 3D. Cripes!

On the off chance you tire of all this 3D business, the Minoru also functions as a regular 2D webcam. But that’s really rather humdrum, because once you’ve experienced life in the third dimension nothing else will do!
