3D cameras first went on sale over 100 years ago, but there is now a digital consumer version available for around £570. This Fuji 3D W1 will allow you to take 3D (stereo) photographs in a compact point and shoot camera. You can even view it in real 3D using the lenticular LCD on the back of the camera (or send it off for printing on lenticulated paper).
"The FinePix REAL 3D W1 camera looks like a normal digital camera, but it has two lenses and two sensors, which take an image of the foreground and the background of any picture.
A processor within the camera then blends the two images together to create a "image that jumps out at you", according to Theo Georghiades, the digital product manager at FujiFilm.
People can see the image in a number of ways. They can either view it on an 2.8 inch screen on the back of the camera, or they can buy a special 8 inch digital photo frame that can display the videos or pictures. This special viewer will cost about £390."

3D TV and Photography will be a big thing in the not too distant future 
(I'm sure the Victorians thought that too though, with their stereograms! They didn't have autostereoscopic monitors though 
).
