Military 3D – The Pentagon wants it

According to Wired.com, the 3D rage has infiltrated the military. The pentagon is asking Darpa to research 3D imaging technology.
“The agency wants proposals that start from scratch, using a fundamentally new model for obtaining video footage. The 3-D surveillance should be able to monitor moving targets with high resolution, from different ranges, and without the need for users to do much legwork, like scanning or refocusing on a target. Darpa anticipates that 3-D surveillance would boost field of vision and depth of vision “by over 100X” compared to existing systems.”
The advantage of 3D surveillance versus current technology is the ability to track movement much easier in an image with depth. It will be interesting to see how they tackle a lot of the challenges of shooting live action in 3D and how they handle viewing of the images
