Leaving Termini in Rome, in 3D. Uses the parallel viewing technique en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereoscopy Recorded on a single camera at 25 fps, with the right side delayed by one frame. Assuming the train was going 40 k/h, each frame is about 44 cm apart -- a bit more than the width of human eyes, but not significant enough to destroy the effect.

You can do this for yourself so long as you separate the left/right with a delay that creates about the width between the human eyes between perspectives. As a rule of thumb, at 30 fps, 1 frame is approximately the distance in centimeters of your speed in kilometers/hour (10 km/h / 30 fps = 9.2 cm).

    Kyle, do you have a doohicky for watching this? Have you seen this photo that I took with two disposable cameras?

    No doohicky, I just point my eyes parallel :) You could totally do red/blue with this if you just tinted the respective frames and overlayed them.

    Yikes! I consider myself to be pretty damn good at pointing my eyes parallel (for Magic Eye and related tricks), but this is way too far over for my eyes to go.

    Try downloading the movie and playing it at a smaller size. You might just have a bigger monitor than me :)
  • Mike Chelen 9 months ago
    that worked even better, also increasing monitor resolution will reduce apparent size

    wow, works amazingly well! The very old-school trick of using a piece of paper/book/cardboard as a divider between the images to force each eye to see only one image helps a lot..
  • Kyle McDonald 1 year ago
    Definitely -- I suppose another way of doing that would be playing them back on different screens on some VR goggles.

    that is a nice trick!

  • it be even cooler if it was a double camera setup, great shot thought - I love stereo vision, and anaglyph video works.
  • Kyle McDonald 1 year ago
    Personally, I think it's a neat technique exactly because it doesn't require a double camera setup :)
  • very true, just wondering if the perspective would increase?

    thats true... ive done stereography with two cameras and and using a stereo lens. two cameras is a much better final result but a pain to set up and align all the time... its nice to just point and shoot once in a while.
  • Andrew Eckel 1 year ago
    He didn't use a stereo lens. Think about it. The train he's on is moving to the right. The difference between the two lenses, if he HAD two lenses, would be that one would be a little to the right of the other. SO, as long as what's going on outside isn't moving much, then at any given moment, the single lens will soon be where its imaginary sister lens would have been at that moment.

    By simply delaying the exact same footage and showing it next to itself, only one camera is needed. That's what Kyle is saying is neat about the effect.
