New hobby using both eyes

February 13, 2010 @ 11:06 pm

So I’ve been interested in Stereoscopic Photography for a long long time.  Always drawn to those double image cards you put in the slide viewer at antique stores and flea markets.  Only recently have I seen this move into the main steam.  First with the latest album by TOOL, “10,000 Days”, and more recently Jame’s Cameron’s Avatar.  I’m experimenting with a few flavors of doing this myself, both in the hardware and the software.  Doing some tests today in my dirty kitchen (I’m packing), and exporting as an animated gif, should give the impression of 3D space.

This is just the first step and I’m experimenting both with camera technique and a javascript that would allow for the same result while keep file sizes down and quality up on the web (jpg rather than gif), without using Flash.

I always really enjoy blogs that show a process of something getting better and better, which is why I think I’m fine with showing my first example :)  Hopefully this will be here to look back on as how far I’ve come?

About me

I am a web developer & designer based in the Twin Cities of Minnesota.

I like Drupal development & themeing, SEO, site architecture, social networking... you get the idea.

I'm also making an effort to expand my site into more than just work as i have various other interests including CrossFit, film, rock climbing, animals, gardening, stereoscopy and music. Hopefully you find me well rounded :)
