But it might be a bit expensive for a hobby project?

How dynamic are the scenes you want to attempt?  I'd have thought that
for fairly static scenes you'd get away with a couple of identical
webcams.  If it's moving imagery, then you'll probably have to sync
them together which is a bit trickier!

Cheers,
Martin

Samsung 3D 12 Mpixels about the price of a mid level point and shoot.

Alternatively a couple of cheap digital cameras set a few inches apart
and triggered at the same time.

Hi All,

I am thinking of starting a hobby project on stereo vision.  I would like
to minimize my effort on actually getting the images to the computer via
usb or firewire.  I have been googling for the past hour and found very few
leads.  Does anyone here know where to buy a stereo image capture system?
