Kúla - 3D for all cameras
Good day!
Íris Ólafsdóttir — an electrical engineer from the Technical University of Denmark, founded Kúla in 2011, and has since worked hard to turn a regular camera into 3D, to the joy of all photographers. As a result, the team of developers assembled by her created a curious pair of lenses - Kúla Deeper, which easily attaches to your DSLR camera and Kúla Bebe, for your smartphone.

Everything is very simple:
How to use Kúla Bebe?
And how does this work?
The Kúla Deeper and Kúla Bebe use high-precision mirrors that reflect the object to be photographed from two slightly different viewing angles. Thus, we get, as it were, a double photograph, in which you can see the image from one angle of view as well as from another. Combining these two images, we get a 3D image (or video).
Kúla's CinemaBox or anaglyph red-and-blue glasses, bundled with Kúla Bebe, will help us to see the result of our creative and photographic impulses in 3D. Anaglyph glasses and stereoviewer are also supplied with Kúla Deeper.
But, according to the creators, there are plenty of opportunities to view the resulting photo:
Software. Kúlacode
Kúlacode uses advanced algorithms for image processing and correction, the resulting export to various 3D formats:
Specifications
Kúla Deeper and Kúla Bebe are made of four high-precision mirrors with a reflection coefficient of about 94%, with the result that we have very high definition images and video clips.
Kúla Deeper , immediately attached to the camera lens with a diameter of Ø77mm, for smaller lens diameters, an adapter ring is needed. There are transition rings for lenses with diameters of Ø52, Ø62, Ø67 and Ø72mm.
Kúla Bebe comes with attachments for phones, see the table below.
Cross eyed
As mentioned above, this is a way to see a 3D image, using the ability of your own eyes to change the focal length.
If you want to try, perform the following sequence of actions:
wigglegram is a convenient way to view a picture, since it does not need to use any special devices.
Anaglyph photos of the creators of the project:
Íris Ólafsdóttir: Electrical engineer and founder of Kúla.
Birgir Birgisson: Industrial Designer with 20 years of experience
Ágúst Rafnsson: Computer Systems Engineer and Application Developer.
Jón Arnar Tómasson: Mathematician and Programmer.
Stella Björg Björgvinsdóttir: Graphic Designer.
The developers have announced a fundraiser to finance a kickstarter project. There are 12 days left to complete, but the project has already gained more than the required amount.

How to use Kúla Deeper?
Everything is very simple:
- Take a picture of a camera with a Kúla Deeper lens attached to it
- View results immediately on your camera using the Kúla Stereo Viewer. In principle, other devices, such as a stereoscope and virtual reality devices (Oculus Rift, Google cardboard, Avegant Glyph, etc.) can be used for raw photos.
- For a more interested audience, there is Kúlacode software, with which you can convert your photos and videos into the appropriate format.
How to use Kúla Bebe?
- Attach Kúla Bebe to your phone and take a picture
- Choose any way to view your photos immediately using the app that comes with Kúla Bebe, or CinemaBox Kúla.

Kúlacode uses advanced algorithms for image processing and correction, the resulting export to various 3D formats:
- 3D TV. Kúlacode converts stereoscopic image into 3D TV format.
- Kúla's CinemaBox. To view on your smartphone. It is recommended to use a high resolution phone display.
- Anaglyph glasses. For lovers of the 80s.
- Wigglegrams. Animated images that give the effect of depth.
- StereoViewer. You need to bring it to your eyes to see the 3D images you just made.
- Cross eyed. Some believe that this is the best way to see a 3D image. It uses the ability of the eye to change the focal length.

As mentioned above, this is a way to see a 3D image, using the ability of your own eyes to change the focal length.
If you want to try, perform the following sequence of actions:
- Look at the image.
- Without taking your eyes off the image, begin to move the focal length closer to the nose (squint your eyes).
- The two parts of the image will begin to overlap one another, forming the third, which will appear in the center.
- Focus on the picture that appears and focus on it. If you have succeeded, then the image in the center you will see three-dimensional.
