The problem with this is that nobody can preview it over the internet without a lenticular screen- which nobody has. You'll pretty much only sell through actual physical trial- and good luck with that :)
@m4ximusprim3: Just put the right and left frames side-by-side and have the person cross their eyes while slowly moving their face away from the screen.
@Sean Ong:The Viewmaster was my first reaction too. $600? Meh. And you can't view the images in 3D on the camera? It will never sell.
The concept should really be that of a self contained digital Viewmaster. Instead of using photo discs, it would display digital pictures that you take.
To accomplish this, it simply needs a pair of LCD eyepieces on the top or bottom edge with a slight nose bridge contour in the middle, so the user can hold it like a pair of compact binoculars to view the 3D images. Give it a $199 price point, and sell the photo frame and fancy printer/ paper as accessories. The net result would be a competitive mid-range compact digicam with a super-cool trick hidden up its sleeve.
Think of the possibilities! [insert your perverted imagination here]
Fuji is missing the boat here. They're still thinking like a film company. They want to believe that everybody wants to print their photos, or uses a digital photo frame. They seem to overlook the whole email and internet thing, and the fact that most modern compacts and subcompacts have a built-in photo frame on the back.
