For centuries, people were able to picture only a two-dimensional image when taking photo. Even today, the most expensive and powerful cameras still give us a clear and beautiful, but flat image.

People tried to bring the stereo effect to photography in many ways, from a stereo slides to 3D glasses, but it always required image to be taken with two lenses. However, something that thought to be impossible before, now is one step closer from being real - Stanford University engineers have made a lens system capable of capturing the distance of subjects within a snapshot!

Just think how many things we should take with us everyday - cell phone, watch, mp3-player and etc. Moreover we should always keep in mind what exactly we want to take and even when everything is with us there is a need to be careful not to lose something. Because of this all companies, which produce different devices, try to make “all-in-one” gadgets. As a consequence all modern devices, especially cell phones, are supplied with clock, organizer, mp3-player and so on.

It seems that the trend these days is to combine absolutely different objects and devices trying not just to create something even more functional and useful, but to save the space as well.

It performs a lot of functions and can be used as a wireless charger, Bluetooth speaker, and information display. The only thing you should do is to place your mobile near the MCube.
