Lytro has long discussed plans to add 3D image capabilities into their Lytro Viewer software, but little has actually been put forth into the public spotlight. Engadget Chinese, however, got a sneak peek at the new Lytro Viewer software from a company spokesperson in Hong Kong.

Looks nice, makes me want to pick up a Lytro, but our idea of what is and what is not ’3D’ is getting pretty loose, I think it’s fairer to say the introduction of a small (very small) amount of parallax is more of a 3D ‘effect’ than an actual 3D photo – taking the pigeon image for example, looking at it with this new 3D effect is not going to make the bird pop out of the screen or appear to float above the screen (or background elements) – ie: there is no stereoscopic depth perception involved.
It’s a nice effect though and it’s even better that they are delivering it as a free upgrade.
