As image sensors get cheaper and more powerful, it becomes easier to record scenes with many cameras at the same time. This is called multiview video. Some of the applications of this technology have been around for some time, such as 3D video. Others, such as free-viewpoint video, are just emerging. In this segment we will explain the basic principles and behind multiview video and some potential applications of this exciting technology.
- Video acquisition with multiple cameras (multiview video)
- Looking at the scene from a user-defined viewpoint (free viewpoint video)

- “Path” in Mac OSX Findermac
Finder’s default settings don’t make it easy to see the hierarchy of the current folder. But if you drag and drop the Path button (which looks like a set of steps) you can do just that. Press the Path button to see the folder path to the drive root in a handy dropdown.
To do this, while in Finder, select the “View” drop down menu, select “Customize Toolbar…”. Then select and drag “Path” into the top of your Finder window.

- Apple iPod Nano 3G
$149-$199
Apple’s new version of the Nano redesigns the player fairly substantially, making it wider and shorter than before…and also thinner. This new design, dubbed the “fattie”, seems to be largely a function of the player’s new ability to play video, thus the need for a larger screen. Despite the wider design, it’s still a thinner and lighter player—but that’ll only go so far for those who want to use their old Nano accessories with this new version…form fitting protective cases are no longer so form fitting.Shiny:
- new thinner form factor
- plays video
Dull:
- doesn’t fit old Nano accessories
- capacity small for video
