Since there isn't a boatload of 3D content available yet, I figured I'd start a thread where we can share the 3D content we've made with each other. Here is a video I made of my friend's salt water fish tank the day I got the phone, and it looks awesome! He insisted on keeping the lights in the room off because the "tank is prettier", but due to the low ambient light, the image is sometimes blurry while the lenses focused, but most of the video is very good.

Sorry, but I had to zip it up because if not, the link would start playing the video directly on the phone and it would buffer a lot.

I can....I'm uploading it now. I wanted to offer the option to download the file directly because with a slow connection, the video will buffer a lot. When it's done uploading, I'll add a link for YouTube, too.
Edit: YouTube link added to OP.
great video, watched it on my pc with glasses.. nice fish tank if its yours too
Oh, you saw it with glasses? I'm dying to see what the videos look like that way. When the fish cross the screen, do they pop out at you?
That's my buddy's tank, by the way. He's still setting it up (according to him; I don't know much about salt water tanks) and he plans on adding a lot more fish and live corals. It is a very nice set-up, though.
They pop out a little bit, there is a definite depth to the whole tank with the fish being in front of it though and unlike a lot of the videos I've seen with these glasses the colors look great.. the fish stand out a lot.
I'm getting double image in the YouTube....

I love reef tanks. So time consuming though.

That looks awesome man. Tell your buddy nice tank. Salt water tanks are a ***** to keep up too. Peace my fellow Cubano
I played the video through my PS3, and it worked fine. Some of the camera motion resulted in a bit of blur (maybe from the camera trying to hold focus, not sure), but the fish looked good and the tank had some impressive depth. The coral was very cool.
From an artistic standpoint, it seems like less overall motion would result in a better experience. Foreground motion was not a problem (fish), but when the whole scene moved, it was a little blurry.
I found the mpo file format works better for pics on the pc with the red and blue glasses.

what color glases do you need to see the images in 3d on your computer? the red blue, or magenta green, Im guessing the standard red blue, but not sure.
Look at this picture through your phone. Its sooo trippy, the flowers are popping out at you. It takes a few seconds to focus
So when we upload 3D pics/videos we can view them in 3D on a computer or TV with the aid of 3D glasses? Just want clarification on this. And as someone said earlier do we just need red/cyan glasses?

The same thing happened to one of my friends, but I don't know why. It works fine on my phone. He said that he went to YouTube via the browser and was able to see it, but using the YouTube app he got double images. Very weird. YouTube app works fine for me with this video.

I could not agree with you more. This was the first video I shot with it.....we'll have to keep this in mind in the future. However, as in the OP, the low light in the room was not helping much, either. A fixed position or panning across the tank more slowly would have yielded a much better video.

Yup......I'm pretty sure the ones you need are red/blue. If anyone knows otherwise, feel free to chime in.
I view videos on youtube with left eye on the left, then view like a stereogram so your eyes relax
for mpo files I load them into Sterephoto maker (freeware) where I can view in the same way as videos or I can save them out as jpeg or jps and view in the same way. This software also allows you to view with any type of coloured glasses (orange/blue, cyan/red, cyan/green etc)
Personally, I feel if you can view a stereogram then you can view these files off the phone with no glasses

press the 3D button at the bottom and choose what type of 3D you want, glasses (not just red/cyan) or no glasses (side by side with left on left, side by side cross-eyed, left on top, right on top)

I couldn't get it to focus right. I think the pic was taken to close, maybe. I tried taking some 3D pics of some of the live corals in my boy's fish tank, but I would have to get really close and the pics came out kinda like this one.
I originally read somewhere that even with glasses you can't view 3D content on a non 3D monitor.

I don't see those options on the YouTube app, but using the browser they are there. Good to know! I always thought the "3D" was an icon and not a functional button.
Anyone notice that on youtubes 3d videos sometimes you need to look at the screen at a slight angle because if you look at it straight on the 3d will be inverse? This is only for some videos, I'm wondering if there is a reason for this, left and right images swapped or something.

Someone said that viewing it with the bottom of the phone to your left accounts for that....

The side by side encoding is reversed from the way the evo 3d screen handles it. The YouTube app really needs an update to give us options to address this. The website version of YouTube lets you click the 3d option on the player and change things like swapping the side by side, switching to anaglyph, etc.

Something still tells me, that it has more to do with the user taking the video's, and as i have noticed when they take pic's, seems everyone is really different. I have seen a good bit of really great video's on youtube that xda member's have taken, then some not so great, so i don't think personally it's youtube, same goes for still pics have seem some amazing stills, even the one's i have taken turned out clear and crisp looking 3D.
Do you guys really take a lot of pictures with a tablet? It just seems so silly to me. I would NEVER take a picture with my tablet when I have an EVO 3d to do that. I guess maybe for video but even then, I've got a much smaller device that can do it really well.
Because camera are fun, because there s a camera button on every single apps in Android. Because cameras are a part of what makes those modern device so well connected to everything around us and so unique and fun to use, it's the same as GPS, gyroscope, lightsensor. There are AR apps, photoshop, movie maker and all sort of stuff that make good use of the camera.
If you take away the camera, you loose this part of what makes mobile device that much more fun to use, you lean the tablet toward the laptop world were everything is less simple but more powerfull. So you loose what makes it great without having what makes laptop better.
It may look silly holding a tablet to shoot some photo but lets be honest 10 seconds. It doesn't look THAT MUCH more silly than taking photo with anything else. Right now the silliest is that camera on tablet are awfull so taking picture with it means you re dumb or at least tasteless. With a good camera on a tablet and you happen to have your tablet in your hand at this moment, why not take the ****ing picture directly with the tablet ? Who cares what people think ? In 5 years from now everyone will do it anyway.
Camera not only take pictures but good for web chatting, email, Facebook communication and etc.
These things does has cameras in case you are sitting somewhere playing with your tablet and bigfoot walks by. By the time you get out your Evo 3d bigfoot has sauntered into the nearby woods. Oh yeah and video chat.
I find the camera very handy on my field.
I have to walk and check operations and take notes. When I find something that's not working I quickly take a picture and make notes highlighting the problem and quickly sending an E-mail to have a resolution.
i'm not really sure what the issue is?
do you want less stuff for the same amount of money?
anywhoo, like it's been stated, FFC is great for video chat, and a rear camera is handy to have if nothing else is in your hand at the moment, or for AR apps, etc.

I guess I should've stated the rear facing one, i understand why you'd want a front one.
For me personally, I'd never use a tablet to take a picture, ever. And not because you might look "stupid", or "dumb", because it's bulky and I'd be afraid I'd drop it!

But it is there if you ever need it. If you are holding your Prime and your phone is in your pocket and you see something you need a picture of it makes more sense just to hit the camera icon and take the photo with the tablet rather than fumble around to get your phone out. I for one would be annoyed if it wasn't there. I would even be annoyed if it didn't have the flash ala the TF1.
trolololololololol

while i'd never use the camera on the ipad2, xoom, or even the galaxy tab unless i had no other choice, the camera on the prime has been getting pretty decent reviews, so if i happened to be holding it, or it was more handy than my phone or digital camera at the moment i wanted to take a picture of something, i wouldn't mind using it.
but i don't think anyone is looking to use any tablet as a camera replacement, but an AR POI app would need a rear camera to function, so i'm glad it's there.

What he said. I am going to use this to replace my work laptop, as I mostly use it for some minor word/excel work and Email. I am a R&D chef, and am constantly snapping pics of steps in making a new product, or new products I have seen, etc. This will keep me from having to transfer from another device. I expect to use it to record video demos as well for our web site.
Then of course I can game on it when in a hotel room or at home.
Think about "scanning" stuff and make notes on it with a pen on the go ;-)
I don't think its really needed but you can get creative with it. Its nice to have anyway and afaik its the same as the iPhone 4s uses so its gonna be a good one on the prime.
They should have ditched the camera (s) and knocked 50 bucks off the price and put in a bigger battery! Or that second speaker you all want!
Anyone taking a picture with a tablet looks like a retard! Plain and simple! And why would you want to see the person your talking to? It's dumb just call them or go see them!
There is no point to a camera on a phone or a tablet I've used my evo camera like twice! And I've had it forever!

In meetings, when I use my tablet, I like being able to take a picture of the whiteboard while in a workout-in-progress, and immediately have the succession of work available. If I use my phone, I have to email pictures to myself, so I can have them on my tablet.
Also, chicks dig a big sensor on my tablet.
For those thinking about lack of internet access... um, I always tether.

My amaze seems to like screwing with me when taking pictures.
The problem is simple.
Start camera application, tap or hold camera button to focus. As soon as it gets perfect focus it jumps back out. It will almost never stay focus regardless of setting.
have you ever tried tapping the screen, say for instance if you're taking a picture of someone, tap their face, and it should focus on where you tapped.
have you tried cleaning the lens? sometimes when the lens is dirty it messes with the focus when I try and take pictures.
I have the same issue.
At first I assumed that my settings weren't correct, tried a number of 'fixes' that seemed logical and here I am.
It happens more often than not, but 99% of my pics are my kids, you got ONE shot at capturing a great moment.
blurred...
I have taken random shots of random objects and nothing will keep the focus...focused.
One second brilliant clarity of HD candy as it zeroes in, and °dink° blurrrrrred again.
sucks, i ditched my hd2 windroid for this camera so any info, possibly a bug fix kind of thing is what I'm looking for.
My hd2 took pinkish pics, so I'm no stranger to 'gimped' code.

try a different camera app like camerafx or vignette and see if you still have the issue. if you dont, its obviously not hardware...

Here's another wtf picture for the books...woke up at 5am for early contract, made coffee, reached for creamer.
Groggy and blinded by exhaustion, I confused the two because of the unfortunate placement.
Steamy espresso berry coffee.
1 picture out of 500+ pictures and this was automatically inserted into the "perfect picture" album...wtf???

I've had the same problem before, but all it takes is cleaning the lense even if it doesn't look dirty.. just make sure you use something that will not scratch it! But trust me, I've had the same pproblem, and that fixes it every time.

a simple question gets a simple answer.
try knocking your res down to 5mp, that helped my old phone, plus it made it quicker, and still had good print/display quality.
I did a search related to this and didn't find an answer.
Is there a way to modify/tweak the stock sense camera to allow for more than three shots in panorama mode? The rom I was running on my Thunderbolt allowed for up to 5, giving almost a 360 degree panorama shot.
Thanks.
Have to get a dev to dig deep into the apk to change the setting, but it might not be that easy. The phone has to then attach all of those pictures together so it might only be programmed for 3.
In Sense 4 you get 5 shots. Running Nils and JTS awesome

I did not know that, interesting, I've been meaning to switch Roms for a while now too.
IMHO as an occasional photographer myself, haven taken a few panos...it can be very tricky stitching photos together. Even using advanced software, if the pics are spaced too far apart, the edges cant be blended without too many weird artifacts or parts of images that dont line up and suddenly disappear or have an obscured bent edge. Anyway..my point was that I never had the best of luck with the pano mode on here. The images didnt connect properly. Its ok for a quickie pano just as long as you stay right on the line and keep it level....When I made my 360 degree panos with my DSLR, I took a grand total of about 12 photos and stitched them in a program on my pc. Trees and shrubs..far and close.. skyline and soil ..at an intersection of a road in boonie land. Spent hours on that bugger. Came out perfectly.
What would be cool is an app that lets you take as many pics as you want then stitch them together. I would prefer manual alignment and then let the software do the stitching and blending. 360 's are fun but difficult. You need a lot of pics for those...just my thoughts.
