| HOW TO: Stare at center black division and let your eyes
relax (look "behind" the photo). With a little practice, you will be able
to fuse the two photos into one and see the picture in "3-D." You will
feel like your eyes are looking beyond the images at first. Your "focal
point" will be "behind" the image. When you're finally able to view the
3-D image you may notice the two original images off to the sides (don't
look at them!!). This imaging is a lot easier to bring into focus than
the 3-D computer artwork that has been so popular in the past decade. Once
you are practiced at this, you will be able to view the 3-D effect anywhere
from 8 inches to 3 feet or more away from the screen. |
HOW TO: For this method, your focal point for viewing
image will be in FRONT of the image. The easiest way to establish this
focal point is to hold your finger or a pencil or other pointed object
(not responsible for your misuse) in front of your eyes about 8 inches
(20cm). Stare at the tip with the image in the background. As your eyes
become accustomed to keeping track of the point, you will start to notice
the background stereo pictures to merge together forming a third picture
(some people may see 4 images at first - keep trying) The middle image
will appear in 3-D. When you are comfortable viewing the images in this
fashion, you will notice that you can "look" at various points in the image.
The advantage of this method over parallel viewing is that you can look
at larger stereos and get more detail. Stereos set up for "crossed eye"
viewing are positioned in the reverse order from the normal, old-fashioned
parallel viewed stereos. You will not get the proper effect if you look
at a parallel photo using the crossed eye method. Have patience - both
methods work. |
