General Information

Precursors

Stereoscope

Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination
Stereograph of US Patent Building c. 1890.

Invented in 1838 by Charles Wheatstone, the stereoscope provides viewers with a still 3-D image. Two images are designed side-by-side separated by the same distance as the eyes to form a stereograph. This stereograph is then placed inside a stereoscope with magnifying lenses about two and a half inches apart. An article from 1859, describes “a stereoscope is an instrument which makes surfaces look solid” (Stereoscope). The stereoscope marks the beginning of 3-D imaging. 3-D television follows long after.

Anaglyph

Anaglyph 3-D Glasses.

Anaglyph images are made up of two color coded images. Each image is designated for either the right eye which is usually green/blue or the left eye which is red. The two images form one 3-D image when viewed through special anaglyph glasses. The Dimension 3 Company employs cyan/red as they believe that this combination produces the least amount of blur or ghost images (Dimension 3). These blurred images are a constant problem with 3-D imaging. The proper colors must be identified in order to make the images clear.
