The True-View device will transform your smartphone into a 3D photo and video camera. Its app lets you take a picture or video in 3D and view it later in 3D too.

It creates 3D images by splitting frames into two side-by-side images and a series of mirrors reflect and merge the images into a single 3D image in a process called "stereoscopic 3D imaging."

True-View is still in its prototyping phase, and is waiting on funding from its Kickstarter campaign to move into production.

A team of designers at London-based startup The Prately Company has been working on the True-View and its accompanying smartphone app over the past year. Peter Brennan, lead designer and founder of The Prately Company, was inspired to develop True-View after his grandfather passed away.

True-View launched on Kickstarter last month, and aims to raise 125,000 pounds (nearly $200,000) by Nov. 1. So far, the campaign has raised over 4,000 pounds (nearly $6,800) in funding. The first 100 backers that contribute 65 pounds (around $100) or more will receive a True-View camera and app.
