Meet The True-View

Now, Stab ain’t particularly first to jump on a new toy (or, maybe we are). But in this instance, we feel justified. Meet the True-View, a kinky little device for your phone that takes 3D photos and videos, produced by The Pratley Co (two surfers who wanna make some ripples). It looks Hasselblad-ish, so the aesthetic won’t solicit a cringe. The quality is kinda astounding. Basically, it makes the until-now-dorky realm of 3D and makes it, well, sexy. Whatever your knee-jerk reaction, actually consider creating your own 3D images and footage… The True-View is currently steaming north on Kickstarter. We wanna see it produced, purely so we can log folders and folders of poorly-composed by visually-awesome homegrown visuals. We ain’t the only ones, either – outta 5k applications that tech conference Web Summit received, The Pratley Co was one of 300 chosen to present the True-View. That should speak volumes in itself about the quality of the tech side. Full story in the next issue of Stab. And, if this is your jam, you can go drop a pledge on the Kickstarter page, right here.
