Just discovered you can take '3D' pictures with Google Camera
Depthy extracts the depth map made by Google Camera Lens Blur photos allowing you to view them with a 3D parallax effect and changing of focus.
The picture in the post is just a shitty GIF export, it's way more awesome to play around with it yourself. Here is an example I made. Be sure to check out all the options in the settings.
Here is the Depthmap generated by the software, pretty impressive.
Google is now applying this tech to allow you to make 3D panoramas to view in Cardboard/VR: https://googleblog.blogspot.nl/2015/12/step-inside-your-photos-with-cardboard.html
I guess it's just a matter of time before we can get miniature drones that use this to automatically capture whole scenes in full 3D for you.
