Helping to make stereoscopic 3D accessible to everyone
Category: History and Research
These stereoviews were in a set of 15 which were originally made in France in the 1910s. The mounts show they were taken by a photographer with a studio in Paris and the clothing style shows French military uniforms as well as French fashion typical of the era. We're going to examine them and see what information we can find.
I wanted to share some amateur autochrome stereoviews from my collection so anyone unfamiliar with the process can see how beautiful they are.
There are different ways to view images in a stereopair and they all rely on each image being viewed separately by the corresponding eye so your brain can fuse the two 2-D images into one 3-D image.
Well, it'd be a bit naughty to start a blog about stereoscopy and not say what it is! In a nutshell: Stereoscopy uses the illusion of depth to create a single 3-D image from two flat images when viewed by each eye separately.
