@s[user]tphq[/user]: I'm not familiar with reversing the position you mentioned -- all the pictures I've seen (and made) print the right-foot image on the right, and the left on the left -- the camera is a monocular recorder receiving the light in place of each eye.

There are complex neurological anatomical arrangements in how the brain receives signals from each lateral hemisphere of the retina, but I don't think that component of the visual mechanism applies to this technique.

side by side 3D pictures come in 2 formats.. parallel and crossview.. parallel ones have the left and rght pictures in the correct positions, crossview ones have them reversed and , in my opinion, produce a more realistic depth than parallel ones.. parallel viewing is also used for pictures like the magic eye ones that appear to be patterns with hidden shapes and depth. This requires you to let your eyes go relaxed like and focus past the viewing picture as if trying to see through it, beyond.. has a similar effect to the crossview but as i say, in my opinion, not as good for depth and clarity.

here is a quote from a site.. "when some stereo 3D images are presented for cross eye viewing they are labeled as such, because their left and right frames are reversed as opposed to normally the frame for the left eye being on the left and the right one on the right."

Some people find it uncomfortable but this tends to become easier with practise.

@stphq -- Take a look at this.

I think you're right it won't work with the stereogram images posted so far, but with the right setup, it could be very effective to use the animated gif approach.

Ah I see what you mean but i personally wouldn't like that.. constant flickering and unable to be printed as it is an animation eh..

I see (sic), thanks ... seems like the reversed ones are the only way it would work for online viewing. I'll try switching mine around and see if I can see them on-screen.

Parallel works online also, just like i say try to make your eyes go relaxed, lazy almost so your focal distance is behind the picture your viewing which makes the pictures overlap very like cross viewing.. i just prefer cross view images as i really do think the depth is more realistic.. also use this program (its free) to load up the left and right images, you can align them with the auto align and also swap them round to see what works best and then save out as a side by side single image... it also lets you add a fuzzy/faded black border to each image which i think helps with the overall end result..

That software will also let you use your 2 taken photos to create an anaglyph for those red/cyan glasses.. though i think those pale in comparision to cross viewings full colour 3D effect.

These are all very cool. But doesn't it really hurt your eyes to look at them? Mine get sore after just a few seconds.

The very first time I looked at those, I found it quite hard and a bit uncomfortable. Then I got the hang of it. I can now get them instantly and look as long as I want.

I LOVE looking at them, at least the ones that are well done because they DON'T hurt :-)
