Stereoscopy Test
Added 2025-01-21 03:54:36 +0000 UTCCross your eyes so both images overlap in the middle. The smaller the images, the easier it is. Can anyone get this to work? Does anyone want to see an animation like this? It's kind of a poor man's VR.

Would love to make a Quest compatible vid. Any tips on file formats or other specifications?

2025-01-21 20:55:22 +0000 UTCI think a phone VR version could work pretty easily. You just render the video twice - from the different angles - then crop the video such that each pov occupies half of the screen. It won't be full VR because no matter where you look or move the image will be the same, but the final upload is simply a video file. At the resolution of my PC monitor, I can't "magic eye" more than about 1/3 of the above images together. The whole image pair is only about 600-700 pixels wide, about 8-9 inches. Maintaining this method would limit most people to video the equivalent of about 2 inches diagonal. Edit: Just tried it on my phone, in portrait mode; I can get it to coalesce but the image is the size of a postage stamp. I can just barely get it to work in landscape, which almost doubles the image size, but that's still very small.

2025-01-21 18:35:32 +0000 UTCI can do the cross eyed (aka wide-cross eyed) easy enough. A quest headset style vr could be cool. anyone know about file formats and stuff?

2025-01-21 16:00:15 +0000 UTCYou may be crossing your eyes too hard. You only need to cross them slightly and focus on the middle image for a second for your eyes to automatically lock on to the 3D image

2025-01-21 15:36:43 +0000 UTCWow, I didn't know humans had this power. It's like a built-in 3DS. Once you figure it out, you can do it on command. I would love more of this or content formatted for VR

2025-01-21 15:15:32 +0000 UTCAlso "cross your eyes" is not an accurate instruction; you actually uncross them (make them go wider apart) in the way that, if you hold your finger close to your face and look at your finger, you're crossing your eyes to see it. If you look past your finger at the monitor, you're uncrossing your eyes to see something in the distance, and as a consequence you see 2 fingers in the middle space. The object is to look past the image so that the image doubles like your finger does. The further you can get them apart, the closer the images are to align. If the spacing works here, try uncrossing your eyes (as if looking thru the screen; if viewing on mobile, imagine the device is clear and you're looking at something in the room thru the device; perhaps look at something in the distance of the room then move the device in front of it, maintaining focus on the distant object as if seeing thru the device) so that the two asterisks below become 4 asterisks, and make the two closest asterisks overlap so that there are only 3. * *

2025-01-21 11:36:47 +0000 UTCHowever, in order to make the VR illusion work, the image can't simply be doubled; the actual camera position must be slightly off center from the other -- about the width one's eyes are apart, to get the depth perception illusion. I have an old 35mm camera that a company would develop into 3D film (with the little ridges) and there are 3 lenses side by side to take the film capture literally from a forced-differing-angle.. If you can modify the camera's view of the rendering just slightly to oneside, use that second angle for the side imaging, instead of just making 2 of the original =) (also pls do not credit me in the ideas-thanks)

2025-01-21 11:32:16 +0000 UTCI can do all the stereoscopy images like the fad used to be; I would suggest perhaps making either a vertical-video version (or much narrower top/bottom), or rotating 90 degrees to make them easier to to merge; it isn't the "size" of the image per se, but the width makes it much harder to line up. It also helps a lot of people if there are two dots either above or below, that you can use as a guide to try to make the dots line up (to make 3 dots overall, overlapped in the center).

2025-01-21 11:26:36 +0000 UTCDoes not seem to work for me :(

2025-01-21 05:36:56 +0000 UTCworks for me too. yes for the animation

2025-01-21 04:32:28 +0000 UTCI can make it work. If you di it right, on a Quest 3 it gives you the option to do VR, 180°, left and right so you get a 3d vr image. That would be so cool!
