Users can put their phones on this device, which supports the iPhone 4, 4S, 5 and iPod Touch, and so begins recording as you like.

Poppy uses a glass system to record two images from an iPhone camera, according to Digital Trends.

Poppy does not use batteries or electricity but uses optical principles. It works because the mirrors are spaced apart like the distance between the two eyes, so the images represent what the left eye and the right eye see, independently.

When viewed through the viewfinder, the lenses combine two video streams and produce a single video that runs crisp 3D images.

Expected, the device will be launched on Christmas for 30 pounds.
