VPhoto

VPhoto is a digital imaging technology that allows for the capture and display of still images containing embedded depth information. This depth data enables a three-dimensional effect, allowing viewers to perceive a sense of depth and parallax within the photograph. Unlike traditional 2D images, VPhoto captures multiple viewpoints or uses sensors to measure the distance of objects from the camera. This information is then processed and stored within the image file itself.

When displayed on compatible devices, such as certain smartphones or specialized monitors, the VPhoto technology can render the image with a subtle depth effect. This can involve slight movements of the image as the device is tilted or a more pronounced parallax effect where foreground objects appear closer than background elements. The primary goal of VPhoto is to provide a more immersive and lifelike viewing experience for still photography, bridging the gap between traditional flat images and full video. The technology aims to enhance the emotional impact and realism of captured moments without requiring viewers to wear special glasses or use complex viewing equipment. VPhoto has seen integration into various mobile devices and software applications, offering users a new way to share and relive their photographic memories.
