The iPhone is quickly becoming the camera of choice to document people’s lives. This trend, which was demonstrated in a recent Apple commercial, has spawned a number of gadgets that bring the smartphone’s features to the next level. Meet Poppy, a $49 device that will turn your iPhone into a 3D camera. The design is very simple, no buttons and no batteries, just an iPhone. Designer Ethan Lowery and Joe Heitzeberg’s goal is to allow consumers to capture their own lives (family, sports, etc) in 3D. The project has been on KickStarter since late June and already has three times its pledged goal. Shipping should begin in early 2014, but given the online popularity, it could happen later this year.

What sparked our fire: The transition from one dimension to another… and back again.

When will the mobile photography bubble burst?

Enjoy!
