By rapidly shifting the perspective on these images, your brain interprets them and you see 3-D!

Google "wiggle 3d" or "wobble 3d" for more...


The human brain is an amazing thing, these images still work with one eye only, your brain still re-constructs these images into 3-D.

This is the same effect cats use to increase depth perception. Watch a cat just before pouncing, and she'll slide her head back and forth a few times.

COULD YOU MOVE THE PICS AT SUCH A SPEED THAT WE WOULDNT SEE THE WOBBLE EFFECT KINDA LIKE A PROP ON AN AIRPLANE HOW IT LOOKS LIKE IT STAYS IN PLACE

Thats cool, life just keeps coming at you doesnt it.

wow. i am seriously fascinated! i think we should all take out our cameras and try to make some of our own. ill do my best to try and make one after i get home from work tomorrow. jeez, i cant take my eyes off them.

some of you members who are more camera savvy and work with photography for a living better have something good to show me.

they are awesome but if I stare too long I get a bit motion sick
Amazing how the brain can be tricked.

Give me the low down on how to create these im very interested.

just googled a little, the scientific name for this is "auto-stereoscopic". im trying to find a howto page as I speak.

Try this for a step by step guide for doing it yourself.

sunpig.com...

It is a really cool technique.

In fact there is a Japanese company that had produced the world's first 360º immersive
environment chamber, it's called TWISTER, an acronym for Telexistence Wide-angle Immersive STEReoscope.

May not be Holodecks, but it's still cool.

Why exactly is this new or amazing?
Here's a shot from 1897 that demonstrates the same principle

which would typically be viewed with one of these...
to produce quite striking 3d images. It's simply an image taken from two different angles with a stereoscopic camera or two cameras close together pointed at the same subject.

Because you don't need special glasses, and everything is'nt blue and red.

Aye, I see.
I always hated wearing those cheesy goggles anyway. I remember when 'creature from the black lagoon' or whatever it was came out on tv in 3d, and some of the convienent stores that sold them made you buy some popcorn or something to get them.

Now that would be cool if the images could be flashed at a high enough rate of speed to mask the flickering, but that wiggling effect just doesn't make much of an impression. It would be cool also if you could take the say 24 frames per second of motion picture and flash the same frames stereoscopically like that, so you would have 24 frames a second but flashing each frame stereoscopically and ending up with more like 48 FPS or more? I wonder if that would have the same 3d effect?

I didn't mean to sound facetious but I'm still not in awe here, you can get the same effect by rapidly blinking your eyes alternatively you know... hold your finger up in front of your face a few inches from your nose and try it.

The cool part is I have the instructions for making one now. Great for family pictures.

Another way of tricking the brain into thinking that something is 3d... is take two photos from slightly diferant anges... put the photos next to each other... Then go crosseyes merging the pictures into one in the middle.

It actually looks really cool!

Nice pics, one of those thinks is probably NSFW as theres a little bit of artistic nudity.

Point Taken I will modify the original post indicating this ..

You even do not need flashing and flickering image - try STEREOGRAM for optical illusion of depth.

In a short - you can view the image:

* if you gaze ( non focused) at the middle of the image - sort of looking behind

* or if you slightly cross your eyes

This is one of my favorite - If I kind look behind the image I see a sphere in front and the other part of image behind...but if I cross the eyes, I see different prospective, all is inverse - the sphere is like a hole in the image.

If you move your head - image will stretch, looking like you are really observing 3D space.

Stereoscopic images are great. I've been pondering making some myself, but I only have one digital camera. these things have entertained me since T00L released the album 10,000 days. The package has built in lenses to view stereoscopic pictures for those of you who don't know.
Check out Adam Jones' myspace page. He's got some that he took.

I was wondering the same thing -- making the "flicker" so fast that you wouldn't notice it. But, would the finished product be a 3-D movie -- or would you end up with a 2-D blurred movie?... I'm thinking you would end up with the blurred 2-D movie.

Yeah I always asked this myself, otherwise Hollywood would be all over this making another Sp1derman flick.
