Viewing with Bare Eyes

Side by Side Method - Without Equipment

This method utilizes media that consists of a pair of side-by-side offset frames (for video) or images. You do not need any special device to view this media, you only need to adjust the focus of your binocular vision so that the images from both sides overlap with each other.

In order to overlap the paired frames, or images, and sense the depth of the media, you may employ your bare eyes with the Parallel Viewing technique.

Parallel Viewing Method

You may need to practice in order to learn how to use this viewing technique:

  1. Look at any far away object that is beyond your display device.
  2. You may then notice that the two actors may double and appear as four.
  3. Then adjust your eyes so that the two actors, in the middle, overlap with each other. Eventually you will see the 3D actor pop-out in front of you.
