The above post on PhotoRumors suggests that Olympus are aiming to tackle the challenge of creating 3D images through the use of an additional camera that mounts onto a standard camera via the hot shoe. A second camera will provide a second viewpoint (like a left eye and a right eye). Assuming it will mount a simpler camera to a dSLR (as suggested in the pictures in the patent application) this would suggest that you don't need high quality information in both visual channels. In many ways this makes sense. The brain is very good at working with impoverished information. Exciting if it works.
