I don't know how old you are Dr. but 3D was a fad in the 50's. Reintroduced in the 60's; fad, again. 70's, 80's and now the 10's are here and we're talking 3D again. Let's talk in 18 months time. :)

And such it will be until a head-gear free solution is found. |

Solution found, no head gear at all according to Fuji:

The Fuji 3D W1 is said to run around £399 ($600+) for essentially 2 10MP cameras in one. Pretty cool as you can take your 3D pictures as well as taking a wide angle and a close up at the same time. However, I was out taking pictures the other day and I saw a guy with two canon SD400 cameras screwed onto a stick (a DIY project that will cost you under $150 including the cameras)... granted, they're only 5MP but if you're showing these images on an HDTV, 5MP is plenty!
I thought this would be a pretty good project, at least until the hype disappears, leaving whatever remains of the fad at a more reasonable price...
Now just to figure out how to process those images into 3D... any tips? |

Manfrotto has a $150 accessory which adapts a single tripod to give you up to four mounts -- would definitely work if you're using two cameras. |

I used to have a co-worker (he worked in the materials lab at one of our sister companies) that had an *old* viewer that was deigned to view two 4x6 inch prints. It was a nice old piece of hardware, and the results could be stunning if the prints were crisp.
Stereograms have been around for a long time, certainly from the first half of the last century.
Thinking about another thread related to panos, it would be *very* cool to do a challenge on stereograms. The same kind of width issues that affect (traditional) panos also affect stereograms; you need twice the width so the 800px limit is restrictive. The voting pool would also be somewhat limited since only those who can view them without assistance would be able to vote. Still, might be a fun "extra" challenge. Might also be a great topic for an informal side challenge... |
Why don't you run such a side challenge? I'd definitely be interested in participating. |

Create your own 3D photos!
Start 3D enables anyone to easily create, share and print 3D photos.
There are two simple ways to do this:
1. Capture two photos, moving your camera 3 inches, and upload both to Start 3D
2. Buy a 3D digital camera, take a stereo photo and upload it to Start 3D.
You can use your existing digital camera and have your first 3D photo up on Start 3D in under 3 minutes!

Actually, they're a lot older than that. I remember these types of images from 1994. |
Stereoscopes were popular in early Victorian times! |

I had to close my eyes for 98% of avatar. Made me extremely motion sick. At least 3D photos don't make me ill, but it doesn't feel to great crossing my eyes.
Never been much of a fan of 3D. Seems over-hyped to me. Perhaps I just haven't seen enough of the good stuff.

I'm a big fan. I find them easy to look at, and they amaze me when they come to life in such a dramatic way! Even something as amateur as my little effort here looks awesome once you see it in 3D.

Nice, works well. Here are lots of 3D Stereograms to have fun with. You see them by doing the same cross-eye thing with your eyes as with your woody picture. You have to sort of look beyond the image, focus your eyes on a imaginary point further behind the image, like looking through the image in other words.

Some nice big one's
