LEGO Stereogram (see it in 3D!) —Chris Busse
I was messing around with my digital camera this evening and produced a somewhat sucessful sterogram (I think that's what it's called). It's a 3D image of a catapault. To see it go to: (URL) cross your eyes. Let me know if you'd like to see more -- (...) (25 years ago, 27-Sep-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.publish)

		Matthew Miller wrote in message ... (...) Note: Bigger makes it harder (or impossible) to look at with parallel eyes. (In this case the object could be pictured larger in the same space though.) Eric Brok (25 years ago, 29-Sep-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.publish)

	(...) Excellent job, great space preception. (25 years ago, 27-Sep-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.publish)

	Re: LEGO Stereogram (see it in 3D!) —Todd Lehman
	(...) Cool! But that's actually not a cross-eyed stereogram. What you've got there is a relax-eyed (or parallel-eyed or free-viewing) stereogram, meaning that if you cross your eyes, you'll see the 3D effect backwards and it'll look very strange. (...)

	Re: LEGO Stereogram (see it in 3D!) —Thomas Main
	(...) Does your camera have a special feature that enables you to take stereo pics or is it a technique anyone can try? If so, how did you set up the shot? (...) (25 years ago, 27-Sep-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.publish)

		Re: LEGO Stereogram (see it in 3D!) —David Eaton
		(...) I think anyone can do it by simply moving the camera a couple inches to the right or left... how far you move it affects how far away the objects pictured appear. This makes it fairly easy to do for still life photos, (like lego set-ups) but (...) (25 years ago, 27-Sep-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.publish)

			Re: LEGO Stereogram (see it in 3D!) —Chris Busse
			(...) I'm just using a "regular" digital camera -- a Ricoh RDC-300 w/ a 4mm fixed focus lens. The nice thing about the digital camera is that it doesn't cost you anything to mess up your shots. I placed the subject 12-14 inches away and placed the (...) (25 years ago, 27-Sep-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.publish)

				Re: LEGO Stereogram (see it in 3D!) —Chris Phillips
				(...) My father has a tripod adapter that he built that uses a simple parallelogram to create a camera mounting platform that can simply be "flopped" from the left to right position. As I recall, the resulting offset was about an inch- and-a-half. (...) (25 years ago, 27-Sep-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.publish)

	Re: LEGO Stereogram (see it in 3D!) —Jeremy Sproat
	(...) Seriously, does anyone know if astigmatism can affect the results of these images? It's like those pictures that were all the rage at the malls a few years back. I'm of the opinion that stuffing LSD into the frame might be a key factor of (...) (25 years ago, 27-Sep-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.publish)

		Re: LEGO Stereogram (see it in 3D!) —Beth Reiten
		Yup! As can virtually any other vision anomaly. I can't do the Magic Eye posters, since whatever it is that I need to do with my eyes to see them makes my (soft) contacts pop out. I prefer to think of it as viewing the world in a more artistic (...) (25 years ago, 28-Sep-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.publish)

		I don't know, I can see them and I have a serious astigatism, I can also see the magic eye ones they had out a few years ago.. just takes a little time sometimes and being able to cross your eyes easily. With the posters they had out a couple of (...) (25 years ago, 28-Sep-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.publish)

			Re: LEGO Stereogram (see it in 3D!) —John Morgan
			(...) one technique I found that helps me to "see" these things is to focus my eyes to a depth past the image, like the wall behind the monitor. then move to have the screen in front but still eyes focus to the wall distance. It takes a little (...) (25 years ago, 28-Sep-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.publish)

				Re: LEGO Stereogram (see it in 3D!) —Stephen Jacquot
				(...) If you can see Chris's and not Todd's, it's probably because Todd's are more widely separated than Chris's (on my monitor, about 3 1/2" vs. 1 7/8"). Human eyes are typically separated about 2 1/2", and this is an effective upper bound on (...) (25 years ago, 28-Sep-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.publish)

I can't see them either - my eyes don't cooperate, so my brain chooses the signals from one eye only (left or right, I can select by will - but not fast enough to see 3D). I hate 3D (...)
