# 3D Webcam Tests Minoru Finally Tested by CNET UK (UPDATE) By Marissa Brassfield | Published 2009-07-17 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minoru-3d-webcam-test References: [hardware.slashdot.org](http://hardware.slashdot.org/story/09/07/16/2213224/Worlds-First-3D-Webcam-Tested?from=rss) & [crave.cnet](http://crave.cnet.co.uk/gadgets/0,39029552,49303012,00.htm) We told you about the Minoru 3D webcam way back in November, but [CNET UK](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smartphonetosatellite) got their hands on this wee multimedia gadget and have released their first images and video from it. Of course, you’ll need 3D glasses to see these properly, but if you’re like me and don’t have any, I’ll summarize the best of what CNET UK found in their Minoru 3D webcam tests. For £50, you can’t beat the Minoru’s technology. It’s also ridiculously easy to use, with its two-button system to take either a [3D photo or video](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rfs78mm-f4-stm-dual). CNET UK recorded a 3D tour of their London office using the Minoru, and you can see it above. Beware: Even with 3D glasses, watching this video can still cause some serious eyestrain. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 7% | Activity: 90% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **3D Webcams:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop advanced 3D webcam technology for immersive virtual meetings. - **Multimedia Gadgets:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create versatile multimedia gadgets with user-friendly interfaces for seamless integration into everyday life. - **3D Visual Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore applications of 3D visual technology in industries such as gaming, entertainment, and virtual reality. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Webcam Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Redefine the capabilities of webcams with improved image quality, motion tracking, and 3D capabilities. - **Consumer Electronics:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create innovative consumer electronics that enhance multimedia experiences and connect people in new ways. - **Virtual Reality:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop immersive virtual reality experiences by incorporating advanced 3D visual technology and user-friendly interface design. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pocket-Sized 3D Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/qoocam-ego.md) - [Quad-Lens GIF Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moment-3d-camera.md) - [Miniature Spatial Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ursa-cine-immersive.md) - [Glasses-Free 3D Laptops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3d-laptop.md) - [Rotating Dual-Camera Webcams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/czur-halo-webcam.md) - [AI-Powered Webcams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aipowered-webcam.md) - [Functional Webcam Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tew01.md) - [Voice-Command Compact Webcams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiny-2-4k.md) - [Three-in-One Webcam Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meca-webcam.md)
