The video camera shoots 2D video in 720p and 3D video at half that resolution. It can also take 3D photographs.

There are a few options for viewing the video. Consumers can watch the video on a 3D-enabled television or use the included software to convert the video and watch it on any television along with red and blue 3D glasses.

"You also have a small, 3D display on the backside of the camera, so while you're filming you can already see the 3D effect," said Kian Badrnejad, a spokesman for Aiptek.

The 2.4-inch screen isn’t quite the same as watching a fully equipped 3D TV but it gives an idea of how the final video will look.
