Stereo photography?

Well done, how did you find that?!

I searched for hours and kept getting shunted into red / green anaglyphs every time.

I loved this bit:

Joseph Mahler (cousin of famed composer/conductor Gustav Mahler) is the inventor of the Vectograph.

Amazing!

Looks like you need special Polaroid Vectograph film... which I suspect is probably not available any more

.... mind you, they still make Titmus fly test sheets. Hmmm... more investigation needed, I think.

I've found links to StereoJets, now. This appears to be a modern updated version of the Vectograph but made with DIGITAL technology. (washes out mouth with soap...)

There's some hints about the original technique here:

This guy has some lenticulars and StereoJets taken from old BW stereo images in his gallery:

Obviously you'd need the originals to see them in 3D - but intriguing that he has got from old Black and White pics to polaroid stereograms, somehow. No doubt using digital again, taking us off topic...

I'm well away, now...


Here's a link to the supplier of vectographic film.

Right at the bottom of the article is the very test chart that I have seen and can see perfectly in 3D.

No idea who much this vectographic film is - or if it is the sort of thing you could use at home, they don't list it on their website.
