Document Summary
With stereo photographs, viewers could see the monuments of paris and london or great sights of nature. There are other ways of judging depth beside stereo vision. Occlusion of distant objects by closer objects. Perspective = the fact parallel lines converge as they recede and distant objects appear smaller. Aerial perspective = blurring and blueing more distant objects by intervening air. Motion parallax = changing appearance of spatial relationships as we move around the world. Only way to perceive depth is with binocular stereoscopy. As a boy, in london, had 2 stereoscopes. Got interested with stereoscopic effects and made a hyper stereoscopic. Experimented with pseudoscope = transposed views of 2 eyes to reverse stereo effect to some extent, making distant objects appear closer than near ones and turning faces hollow masks. Lenticular stereograms = 2 images were printed in alternating narrow vertical bands covered by clear, ridged plastic.
