How to view 3D stereoscopic image pairs:
- Sit so that you look directly between the 2 pictures.
- Focus on the space between the 2 pictures.
- Focus about 10 meters behind your computer's monitor.
- Two extra images of these picture will appear - eventually.
- Focus on getting these 2 new images in the middle to merge into one image.
- Merge these 2 new images by focussing behind them.
- This will result in a row of three images - the one in the middle will be in 3 D.
- The further away you are from your computer screen, the easier it becomes to merge those extra 2 images. If you sit too close to your computer screen, you will not be able to see the 3D effect. Around 0.75 meters is OK.
- If you still struggle to see the 3D images, find out from your friends who knows how to "free view" stereoscopic 3D pairs using the parallel-viewing method or the cross-eyed method.
- Alternatively, search Google.com using the 3D terms in that last sentence: 3D parallel-viewing method cross-eyed method
- To be able to see these pictures in 3D takes practice. Do not be dissappointed if you cannot see it within a second or two. It takes at least a minute or two if you are not experienced in viewing 3D images without 3D glasses.
There are some 3D images below you can use to practice seeing the 3D effect.
These images are smaller than the other ones on this website - it is easier to see the 3D effect using smaller images.
The moons of Jupiter have been enlarged several times to make it look more interesting. Distance from Jupiter is also NOT correct in these images.
- Very easy method to see 3D. Make two legal paper size or A4 paper size (or larger) tubes - DIY lensless binoculars. View only the lefthand side image through left tube and at the same time the righthand side image through the right hand side tube. You should be able to see the 3D effect almost immediately. Thanks to Dave Jessie for this tip.
Cool !!! - Remember to bookmark this website if you find these 3D images interesting.
