This [Nikon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retro-fullframe-camera) NF-300i picture frame converts your 2D photos into 3D images.

The Nikon NF-300i pulls photos wirelessly or from a USB stick and converts them into a [no-glasses-needed 3D image](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3d-laptop). If the NF-300i sounds a little too good to be true, that's because it is. Nikon is only *loaning* these frames out with a subscription service of $244 a year or $24 a month. Maybe I'll let Japan keep this one...for now.
