Tripp S- Stereoscope



This is a test of a neat effect Ive been researching for a little over two weeks now, its the process of using photoshop to create gifs animating stereoscopic images. Stereoscopes reached their popularity in the late 20’s and were basically 3d pictures that would be printed on slides and viewed with stereoscope viewers, the two images which were basically same and only offset by an inch or so combined with a mirror system in the viewer would create the illusion of a 3d image. This process still exists today with the Holga Camera company making a two lensed camera and stereoscope like viewer. The problem with all of this is that short of carrying around a box of slides and a viewer there is no way to share this amazing photos, the only way I have seen is by animating them using this process.

I love how invested in stereoscope viewers you are. I think it's fascinating that you have been able to do this and I am really impressed. I love the idea of gifs and you brought it to another level for photography! I love the two pictures in plain view and I love the movement you brought to them. I really enjoy this.

This is amazing. This must have taken a lot of time, and I think it's awesome that you took the time to find these pictures and make the gif. It's really cool and kind of creepy. This is really visually stimulating. I love it. Great job!
