You only need one device to make and see 3D with CrossCam, but if you have two devices you can connect them using CrossCam to capture from both simultaneously. CrossCam is the easiest way to make 3D pictures. The pictures you make with it are 3D just like 3D movies or VR but without any glasses or headset needed! To see the 3D, all you have to do is cross your eyes carefully and CrossCam even has a built in tutorial to teach you how to do it. CrossCam even lets you see your 3D picture before it's complete so you can tell how it will turn out in real time! - full and instant control over the overall depth and quality of the picture - automatic alignment of pictures - no need to have an expensive setup with two cameras - no more capturing in the field and just hoping it works out in post when you get back home - no more aligning with "ghosts" of previous captures - no more trudging through uploading to your computer to stitch, align, and process - built-in editing for fixing misalignment and preserving the stereo window - on screen help to make sure you get the images on the right sides every time While developing CrossCam I've been bringing it along on several scenic trips and I'm sure glad I've had it with me. Thanks to CrossCam, the memories I have from those trips are now preserved in stunning 3D. I can confidently say it makes 3D photography a breeze and I hope it helps you too! If you have any trouble, questions, or feedback, please email me@kra2008.com. I'm happy to coach, fix bugs, and hear your ideas.

Phonesty Video Conferencing is easy, secure and affordable. It's by far the simplest way to join a Phonesty Conference. Phonesty conference rooms can host meetings with a very high number of participants and can be individually configured for many specific use cases (church services, teaching, webinars etc.). Participants can either be automatically muted with our unique "Plenum Mode" and can then raise their hand if they want to speak. Or the conference room can be configured so that everyone can mute/unmute themselves. The video switches to the speaking member automatically or can be fixed to one speaker at a time. Conferences can be recorded, locked and much more. Participants can also dial-in by telephone. Or our system can automatically call your participants by phone starting at 1 Cent per minute.
