3D Photography has been around for a century and a half. It is simply a method of photographically recreating what you already do- perceive depth in everything you see.
Standard photographs are only 2-dimensional representations of what you see. 3-Dimensional photographs are taken from two perspectives (you have two eyes, hence two perspectives on a scene). By forcing each eye to see only one photograph, i.e. the left eye sees the left photograph and the right eye sees the right photograph, your brain will reconstruct the depth information from the two pictures and you will see a 3D image.
There are various ways of doing this, and this site is meant to give a demonstration of several forms of viewing them.
Here you will see over 3000 3D pictures from 38 countries that were either taken on 35mm slide or negative film, and with a digital camera. There are also 3D images extracted from video, 3D images made on a scanner, and 3D photomicrographs made with a microscope. Most of the images are in cross-eyed viewing format, and there are instructions on how to view them on this site.
In the Viewing section, you will learn how to view the 3D images on this page using the cross-eyed method (a majority of the shots). To start viewing the galleries, just click on the regions of the map.
In the Take your own 3D section, you will learn how to take 3D photos using a camera or a scanner, and you will learn my 3D video method as well. You will learn how to take 3D photomicrographs using a toy microscope.
In the Display them yourself section, you will learn how to project the 3D photos you have taken with a camera onto a movie screen in full stereo. Complete details of the home setup are included.
