DIY Hacks & How To's: Make a 3D Viewer

[@robbinlynnspencer-buchtel6896]

Thank you for this instructional video. My daughter & I were just dicussing Stereoscopes from the old days (she loves those things & is overly familiar with them since she was raised doing living history). Now to 'hack' & mini size it for her dolls (from really small to 18' in). The nice part is that I can pick up cheap glasses at Dollar Tree & not feel bad about destroying them.

I have a stereoscope from 1908 as well as the cards from that time period. I've always wanted to know how to make new ones. Thanks!

I use to work in stream-gauging for a government department and part of my work was to use aerial photos with a 3D viewer for building dams. On occasion I'd place the order of two photos in the wrong order and instead of having the mountain/hill appear to come upwards, it would have the opposite effect and be inverted.

Brian May (from Queen) sells Stereo pics and 3D viewers (OWL). Great stuff!

[@PunakiviAddikti]

The two-picture system method works well,but you'll have to adjust your eye-crossing and move your head closer or further from the picture to get the third picture to become clear

[@HoshiHikari]

Is there a website that offsets elements in single photos to have stereoscopic depth so we can retroactively make 3D images

[@U.S.A.]

I can see both, crossed-eye 3D and parallel view 3D, for some reason switching between these two formats changes my eyes' view angle and because of this I see the parallel images bigger than the crossed-eye images, so if you haven't tried any of these formats, then try the parallel view first because it's better.

[@anarchisttutor7423]

I recommend using a #4-40 x 1 in machine screw. I used 1 1/14 inch and it was too long but still useable.

[@bogtheforest]

You don't need a stereoscope to do parallel viewing! I was doing doing it a lot of the video!

[@davidmacphee3549]

Me too. I paint in 3D

[@JasonBrownafewmomentsl8er]

Not everyone can do that . I cant cross my eyes no matter how hard i try

[@power-max]

I found if you close one eye while watching a movie with the camera smoothly panning around a scene, it popped out/in and looks 3D, as the brain tries to compensate with only one eye.

[@d4m4s74]

Simply practice. after a while it becomes intuitive.

[@Karlfalcon]

This is a very creative method.

[@SinuheSieda]

I heard that Lytro would have a firmware update so it could take 3D photos. Lytro has only one lens but it has a special sensor which makes it focus able after shot.

Hello, at 1:06 /3:49 what are the dimensions of the mirrors? Thanks :-)

[@엉망진창와르르맨션]

Hi! I want to make stereo viewer card. But i don't know how to make that at home. Can I get some simple supplies? Thank U.:)

[@dj.adrianbit.4730]

What lenses to used ?

[@david99soad]

1:30 is a photo taken in Valletta in Malta :D

[@rodrigohermosilla4976]

I can made this to see SBS on a tv or pc?

[@gremmiehodad]

Anyone know a trick for darkening faded stereoscope card images? Clear vanish?

[@clara9856]

Could anyone tell me if the stereoscope they teach how to make works?

[@creepyloner1979]

don't take apart the glasses, just keep the photos smaller than your interocular distance (twice that for the pair).

[@darktherapy]

There's a scene in Django Unchained that involves a stereoscopic viewer.

[@ianmorgan889]

It's raining today so I can't work so Instead, I shall make one of these viewers! Thanks for that!

[@Jsmtjso]

the picture at 1:47 has the depth completely reversed. The house and the green tree actually stick out in front of the pink one.

[@2o4II112II26o2]

It has to be viewed using the cross-eye technique ( the left photo is on the right hand part of the screen ). You were 'crossing' your eyes ( merging the pictures ) which only works if the left photo is on the left hand part of the screen ). kzbin.info/www/bejne/mae2maKqfdFkd9U has a tutorial on how to use the cross-eye technique where the left photo is on the right hand side of the screen. Hope this helps.

[@StereoBucket]

I can cross my eyes but not focus on the image. Any tips?

[@jfbbridurnfbbfbbhhvggghvfkhfuj]

dont

[@StereoBucket]

@@jfbbridurnfbbfbbhhvggghvfkhfuj Too late, already figured how.

[@jameslane3846]

Or you can use a stereo film camera to make the images

[@tieulongkom]

which lens power should we use? How many diopters?

[@dr.leonardopinelli]

Crystal Trần +3,0

[@d4m4s74]

I can watch both cross-eyed and wall-eyed 3d without discomfort and without tools. Unfortionately in the case of wall-eyed 3d I can only see very small images.correctly.

[@jfbbridurnfbbfbbhhvggghvfkhfuj]

wall eyed?

[@d4m4s74]

@@jfbbridurnfbbfbbhhvggghvfkhfuj eyes pointing straight ahead, as if you're looking through the picture

[@uufflakke07]

Why do you first have to cut the glasses into two parts and a bit later screw them together again?

[@kelceyfirth]

uufflakke07 because you have to swap the lenses to the other way around.

[@1000000trs]

@@kelceyfirth why? (there's not difference between the lenses ?)

[@anzaeria]

Not for parallel viewing.@@kelceyfirth

[@Hellcommander245]

what if I have four eyes... can I make quadrophonic photography

[@CBum425]

Bless your heart.......

[@JRTRSQ]

Pretty interesting little video, though I wish there was a more detailed explanation at the end on WHY the glasses are made the way they are in each step. I learned a lot though so thumbs up! @gibbo1112 I have two friends that both only have one eye (if u r serious) and it is very sad to me that they cannot enjoy 3-D at all. Maybe there is a way but I don't think so. It would be great if someone came up with some glasses that would work for them!

[@cemmercemmer7853]

The video provides a method for a one-eye stereo effect at 1:35 (the rapid alternation method). You can reproduce this at home by selecting two pictures from a computer folder, selecting "open," and tapping the "left" and "right" cursors back and forth.

[@Poopmouther86]

Not true. My company works with the ad department and takes note of comments on videos and the order they come in.

[@mwarnken1234]

it was actually called a stereo opticon...

[@Spunkyinternall]

I tried to cross-eye....
