Well the other day I came across this beautiful item on the flea market in basel: a stereoscope produced by Unis, Paris. |
Stereoscopy is almost as old as photography itself. Even before the advent of photography, cardboard drawings were used to create threedimensional pictures. |
Here is the final sheet before cutting. |
close-ups, and one single slide. |
There we go, first test, and it worked right away! The 3D-effect is real, I was happily surprised. It's physics, baby! |
A look through the lens - can't really simulate the 3D effect in this post, although there would be ways... (maybe some other time) |
Dr. S. spending the rest of the afternoon gazing at typewriters in the world's first mini-typewriter exhibition! |
Ha! Ingenious! :D
ResponderBorrarNice job! I have to admit I've seen these kinds of slides many times, but I have never tested them in a "3d machine". It's a pity our computers are not 3d-ready, yet, so I can't really enjoy your typewriter slides. Gives me a good reason to look out for a stereoscope though :)
ResponderBorrarLovely! If you post your pictures with the left and right frames reversed, those of us reading at home can see your photos with the "crossed-eye" method.

Thanks for the hint, will do!
Borrarvery fine post and project! My own stereoscope is plastic and goes with a stereo camera. I need to get some slide film and developer to try it out.
BorrarOh this is very cool.
ResponderBorrarWow! This is genius!
ResponderBorrarVery clever!
ResponderBorrarThank you all for comments - I am preparing a 3D page for "cross-eyed" view worldwide!
ResponderBorrarthe typosphere is one genius richer today
ResponderBorrarWonderful! I have one of those viewers that take about 4" by 7" cardboard cards. I'll have to re-photograph my whole collection of typwriters now in stereo! Great post, and thanks, even though it adds yet another item to my "I wish I had the time and energy to do that" list ...
