Stereo Photography

Simply put, stereo photography consists of two views of the same image.  When viewed, in a variety of forms, the views come together to form a 3 dimensional picture.

These views are called "parallel views".  They are in the format of the stereo view cards which were popular at the beginning of the 20th  Century.

They can be viewed with a stereoscope or a lorgnette which can be purchased at the 3D  Center.

To learn more about stereo photography begin with the website of the
