tugrikToday was spent tooling around the Big Basin redwoods and checking out Revar's recently-acquired sub-micro pocketcam. It's got a little helper app built in for taking 3D stereo pictures. You take the "left eye" shot, and then it split-screens to show you the image you took with a superimposed grid. Move a few inches to the right in a properly parallel way, use the grid to keep everything level and centered and *snap*... stereogram. The camera comes with a little plastic viewer thingy even. Print out a 4x6 of the picture, set the viewer on the center and if you did everything right, you get a 3D picture. While not as easy to view as a lenticular print the results are far superior.
Revs let me take a pic or two with it. The one of Leo, one of the two Cats of Los Gatos (Leo and Leona, they're quite a pair), came out best.
Here's the cross-eye version
and Here's the straight L/R pair version..
To see it in 3D, view the cross-eye version and cross your eyes until the two images form one image in the center. Hold that for a minute and your brain will figure it out and start processing depth information. Some folks are better at letting their eyes drift to parallel (move outwards instead of inwards); they should view the straight version. Of course, if you've got a printer and a simple stereo viewer that's the best solution, if a bit more effort-requiring.
Of all my LJ friends I figured Lynx would like this pic the most. :)
