[OSM-talk] Three-dimensional aerial imagery

I saw this news story about how three-dimensional aerial photos, viewed with
special glasses, make it easier to pick out structures on the ground.

I wonder if any such 3-d imagery is available today?  It would seem to involve
having two cameras a set distance apart.  If OSM ever charters a plane again, as
was done for Stratford-upon-Avon, England, a few years back, it might be worth
taking two cameras instead of one.  In the meantime I guess we'll wait for the
3-d display Windows Phone to come out, with accompanying Bing Maps 3D.
