The Beam Pro is a 3D Android camera with superb hardware. It has two 50Mpx lenses spaced apart a slightly less than the average human eye separation. The software offered by the manufacturer does not take advantage of the full resolution. It does have fairly decent software for using just one lens, but the two lens option (spatial photo/video) only provides 4k output. The manufacturer is concentrating on providing support for their VR glasses and not supporting the 3D (sparial) aspects of the camera. The camera has full features for 2D, but not 3D, and lacks an adjustment for shutter speed so it is only good for stills with no motion.
While the Beam Pro looks like a phone, it is just a camera in a phone case that runs on Android and supports standard Android apps. Your photo app works with it to take pictures just using one lens.
The main feature request is to support both lenses in full resolution. The easiest format would be just to output the image as an SBS (side by side) picture with the left image on the left. This would allow the user to crop and adjust the image using the free Stereo Photo Maker (SPM) or its companion Android 3DSteroid.
Slupport for things like anti-shake could be easy once the basic request is coded. The information could just be taken from one of the lenses that you spport and applied to both. There already is code that can properly align the two images for proper 3D viewing, but this can be done postprocess in SPM. Other options would be applied in a similar fashion, as the coding already exists. The only other thing that could be added would be the "depth" control. This would be cropping each lens image horizontally on either the inside or outside so as to move the view forward and backward, but that can be readily done in SPM or the Android 3DSteroid equivalent. Since the Beam Pro does not have a 3D display, a simple display of the SBS image would be OK.
Since the manufacturer seems to be ignoring the 3D addicts in favor of selling their VR glasses I am appealing to you for this enhancement. There is a similar Android device the Hydrogen Red phone, but the lens separation is way too small for decent 3D except in extreme closeups.
