Stereograms! Make Your Own 3D Camera for $15 or Less

If you happen to have two digital cameras, you can skip some of the steps, like getting the film developed and scanning the pictures. I was able to get my hands on a second camera; I found that butt-end joining got the lenses close together. I also tried side-by-side, using some optics posts and attaching to the camera tripod mounts. Unfortunately I did not have a third camera, so I can’t show the full rig.

Here is a laser table stereogram. I tested this on a few people, and not all could get it to work. But I can, and that’s good enough, for I am the benchmark for many things.

Tips for 3-D “cross-viewing”

Also, you can see that the two pictures appear to diverge from each other, an example of the leaning tower illusion

One thought on “Moving in Stereo

  1. Nice picture.

    It looks like you placed the right-eye image on the right, which means it should be viewed with the ‘diverging eyes’ method rather than cross-eyed. In any case, I can see it just fine.

    Oh, and in this case, the pictures actually *do* diverge from each other…it’s not just an illusion.
