How to Synchronize Multiple StereoPi?
Sometimes you need to take synchronized shots with a couple (or ten) StereoPi. For example, for 3D object reconstruction, to create animated multi-view GIFs, or even to create "The Matrix" style "bullet time" 360 degree videos. In this article, we described an advanced and scalable solution to achieve this. Read the full update.
