The Story of this Page
This page was created to give the reader a better feel of the facilities of OCESS. With a pair of anaglyph 3D glasses, you are able to see our facilities in 3D, giving you a better understanding of the depth and distance between objects. Of course, it is hard for one person to fill this gallery page alone, so I am putting a brief intro to anaglyph photography below to help you get started with anaglyph photography. As soon as you have a basic under standing of anaglyph photography, you can help me populate this page with photos, and updates to older photos. IronyFail in ANAGLYPH 3D! 09:45, 12 March 2010 (EST)
A Brief Intro to Anaglyph Photography
Anaglyph photography may seem like a complicated concept for some, but it is very simple at the core. Basicly, it is just two images super-emposed in red and cyan over top each other. When you put on the glasses, it lets one of the two images through the lense to your eye. Your eyes also compensate for the color differences to make the colors of the picture look ore real. You will realize this after you take the glasses off after extended use and you will see that each eye will view either more red, or more cyan depending on the lens in looked through. Basically all you need to start taking anaglyph photos are:
- A modern digital camera
- A pair of Red / Cyan glasses
- StereoPhoto Maker Software - http://stereo.jpn.org/eng/stphmkr/file/stphmkre422.zip
Using these 2 items and this software, you will be able to take images of still objects in 3D.
A step by step process follows:
- 1. Find an object to take a photo of
- 2. Hold you camera at least 5 feet away
- 3. View your object to the right of you viewfinder (or Screen) but keep the object fully on the screen
- 4. Take the photo (This one is for the left eye)
- 5. move your camera about the distance between your eyes (2 - 2.5") to the right being careful to keep it on the same axis, and straight
- 6. Take the second photo (This one is for the right eye)
Now you have taken a pair of stero images, but to view them in 3D, they have to be processed. I use StereoPhoto Maker for this.
- 7. Open StereoPhoto Maker - http://stereo.jpn.org/eng/stphmkr/file/stphmkre422.zip
- 8. Go to the File menu and click "Open Left/ Right images"
- 9. Browse to your camera, SD card, or wherever you have copyed those two images taken earlier
- 10. Open the left image (If you follow my method it should be the first one)
- 11. Open the right image (It should be right after the left image)
- 12. When you have opened both images, you should see them side by side in the window. Now the images have to be adjusted.
- 13. Go to the adjust menu and select "auto color adjustment". This will match the colors of both images
- 14. Next, go to the adjust menu and select "auto alignment". This may take a while. This will compensate for misalignments in the two pictures.
- 15. Now put on you 3D glasses and go to the Stereo menu and select "Color Anaglyph" followed by "Dubois (Red/ Cyan)"
You are now done and can save the image as a "stereo image". Now you can upload it to the wiki, and add it to the gallery page.
