The right half of the screen is for taking the second image. 10/20/2003 11:19 14 Move the camera to the right without changing your stance.
Viewing 3D pictures by the parallel method and cross method As our eyes are positioned about 6 – 7 cm apart, there is a very slight deviation between what we see with our right eye and what we see with our left eye. The difference is processed by our brain to produce a three-dimensional image. This principle is applied to taking and viewing 3D pictures.
How to view 3D pictures using the 3D image viewer Print out the pictures so that they are about 11cm or 12cm wide and place the divider of the 3D image viewer in the middle of the two. Taking Pictures As the distance between the left and right eyes differs from per- memo son to person, some people may have difficulty obtaining a three-dimensional effect even when looking at prints that are the same size. It may be especially difficult if the pictures are very large or very small.
