Stereoscopy
To
see stereoscopically, just hide the left image from your left eye and the right
image from your right eye by your palms and then try to concentrate your sight on
a small object located at the intersection of the line from your left eye to
the right figure and the line from your right eye to the left image. The
"software" is already into the brain waiting for activation. The
result is stunning.
The
stereoscopically viewed objects are formed in the space in front of the
observer and not on the screen.
The moving
Diamonds (click to
download, and then open it, then use ESC to QUIT) "leave" the screen
and fly in the space, some moments close to the observer and some
moments away, behind the screen.
The
Flowers (2.0 MB) is
also impressive (click to download, then open it, finally double click to QUIT).
At
first you may be confused but keep trying.
What
you see is just a part of the full scene. Move the mouse around. Keep trying.
Stunning?
You
can also see the Greece
Kriti Chromonastiri Agia Kyriaki (2.0 MB).
Or
the Greece Kriti
Patsos Spiti Milos (2.2 MB).
Seeing
stereoscopically is not "a trick" that after a few minutes blows out.
It is an extremely useful tool every time you create a complicated
drawing. It fits also to photographs, video, games, TV, etc.
The
invention of the "stereoscopic representation" comes from Spain, 25
years ago. But it seems it was never understood.
It
changes the way human beings see for thousands of years!
The
observer has to learn to see combining different "focusing" to
"eyes convergence".
In
reality, the observer has just to release himself from the conventional way. It
seems very few people are ready to make this step.
Most
people try a few times and then give it up. They think stereoscopic viewing is
not possible, or at least it is not for them.
It
seems small children achieve stereoscopic viewing easier.
An
old mechanic viewing the "plain" animations of the VVA mechanism on
the monitor, said: "It is alive. You do not need a prototype."
If
a "plain" (many call it 3D) animation looks alive, how can it be
called the "stereoscopic" (or 4D?) animation, where you feel you can
touch by your fingers the "formed in the space", and not on the
screen, objects?
