Nikon launches my Picturetown 3D

These services not only allow users to view their photos in dynamic 3D format, but also enable the sharing of 3D images between NF-300i 3D digital photo frames.

What’s more, the Android mobile operating system has been adopted for the NF-300i 3D digital photo frame, enabling the inclusion of functions other than simple image viewing, including a calendar, a clock and display of weather information. my Picturetown 3D is only available in Japan.

With the extreme popularity of a number of 3D movies recently, consumer focus has been concentrated on stereoscopic devices such as 3D televisions. Similarly, the digital photo frame market has been expanding greatly. Nikon, which has continued to pursue ways of enjoying digital photos with its Internet service, my Picturetown, is well aware of these changes in the market and takes this opportunity to offer another new way of enjoying digital images.

With current 3D technologies, there are limitations on stereoscopic viewing, most commonly resulting in the need for specialized 3D eyewear to view images or movies in 3D. Recognizing this inconvenience, Nikon has developed a 3D digital photo frame that enables high-quality viewing of both 2D and 3D images, at the same resolutions, without specialized eyewear. In addition, a 3D image conversion service is also offered via the Internet, allowing for the simple conversion of photos taken with standard digital cameras and eliminating the need for any specialized photography equipment.

A lenticular display and horizontal double-density pixel system have been adopted for the LCD panel, enabling stereoscopic viewing without specialized 3D glasses. This makes playback of bright, high-quality 3D images at the same resolution as 2D images possible for enjoying 3D images without specialized eyewear Naturally, playback of standard 2D photos and movies is also possible. 3D and 2D photos can be downloaded from Nikon’s image sharing and storage service, my Picturetown, using wired or wireless LAN for display on the NF-300i. The NF-300i 3D digital photo frame will not be available for sale, but loaned only to registered members of the my Picturetown 3D service.
