 |
ROTARY STEREOSCOPE - Precision is the key to this

SLIDE STEREOTROPE - The name is a
combination of Stereoscope and Zoetrope and so is the
function of this apparatus in which 24 stereo slides of a stop-motion
sequence allow a viewer to see a very short 3D movie. The person looks
through a stereoscope featuring achromatic lenses and spins a handle to
rotate the wheel housing the slides. Designed and produced at Levy Design
Studios in Portland, Oregon. |
 |
SLIDE STEREOTROPE - A view from the back
shows a stroboscope with a synchronizing sensor and precisely placed dots
behind each slide. As a dot moves in front of the sensor, it triggers the
strobe producing a very short flash "freezing" that pair of
images in our eyes. Just as in the movies, the fast presentation of still
images in sequence produces the sensation of motion - and in this case
it's not only moving, but also in 3D. |
 |
CARD STEREOTROPE - Just as in an
old Nickelodeon parlor, turning the handle of this apparatus, shows a
sequence of 60 images in succession creating the sensation of a moving
scene. The difference of course is that this sequence features 60
stereocards and the person viewing it can see a short 3D movie. The
viewing stereoscope uses the same kind of custom made glass lenses
as used in the Quimby stereoscope above. Designed and produced at Levy
Design Studios in Portland, Oregon USA. |
