Some notes (and apologies) about this album:

1. Harold Lloyd was one of the biggest stars of the silent screen, rivalling Charlie Chaplin. In addition, he had a number of successful films during the transition to talkies in the 30's. And apparently he was a stereoscopy afficionado. This is a collection of photos he took (with the exception of two photos, which are OF him and therefore not BY him).
2. The album contains several famous people in it in 3D including Buddy Rogers, Marilyn Monroe, Jayne Mansfield, Art Linkletter, and Candice Bergen (and more).
3. I got these images from this flickr album and converted it to crossview. Sadly, they originally started as color sideviews but were converted to anaglyph by the flickr album creator (and he did not provide the original sideviews). As a result, converting them to crossview resulted in the color getting stripped out. I tried finding other sources, but other than the odd image here and there I was unsuccessful.
4. The flickr album itself is gathered from the book 3-D Hollywood by Suzanne Lloyd Hayes (Harold Lloyd's granddaughter). It's sadly out of print but if you want to shell out 87 bucks for it, you can get it on Amazon.
5. Harold Lloyd also had a collection of hollywood nudes which were also compiled into a book by his granddaughter (Amazon Link). This one can actually be purchased for ten bucks in paperback, so it may be worth it for some of y'all. Unfortunately all these images are already in anaglyph, so you need the 3D glasses (or the willingness to convert/decolorize them as I did).

If anybody has access to the original sideviews let me know and I'll convert them to crossview and post them. I'm kinda bummed that I was unable to retain the color during the anaglyph conversion.

i tried many mobile apps to find a good one for making cross views, but ultimately i got tired of having to take both pictures and then just hope that when it renders them there would be enough separation to have good depth. so i went ahead and BUILT MY OWN APP over the last 6 months that gives you a live preview as you're capturing the photos side-by-side. the app is called CrossCam and it's completely free. i took this picture (and many others) with CrossCam and i want to invite you to try it out too. you can search your app store for CrossCam or you can download it from these links:

Yeah when I do them if there is stuff super close like in this one I try to keep the photos closer together where as if its stuff that is just farther away I spread the pics out a few more inches to give more depth but not to much.

Also I use an android app called 3Dsteroid Its not the most beautiful app but it works quite well.

Thanks. I used the HTC Evo 3D phone. Separation is about 1 inch. The lenses look like eyes, so the swan is lunging at them. The most they can do is scratch you a little with those spiked tongues, so while you can't really get hurt, it can be startling and funny at the same time. Only the males do it and only when they're protecting a brood. They mate for life, and yes, sometimes they're gay.

Yeah, Blender now supports stereoscopic rendering. I tried it once and found the interface kind of clunky to work with, though, but maybe I need to play with it more...

Looks to me to be a well or pump cap. Quite possibly where a city pumps water out of the river for drinking, or a company pumps for commercial use.

I made it with this webtool: larixk.nl/experiments/sort/. Pixel sorting is basically a process of moving pixels in a picture based on some property they have. In this picture they are sorted vertically based on their brightness relative to pixels near them. You can check out /r/glitch_art for similar stuff, or if you really want to take the deep dive and write your own algorithms for sorting, you could try learning a language like Processing.

Picture taken with u/KRA2008's Crosscam app on Android.

Model build by me using instructions from BrickLink user "Kongzilla", which can be found here.

CrossCam is an Android app that not only has post capture editing tools, as demonstrated above by /u/KRA2008 – who is the app's developer, by the way – but can also be used to assist in taking perfect shots in the first place. Now I can't personally vouch for it as I've never actually tried it – I've always just done everything manually and learned how to move my phone for the best results – but if you [search this sub for 'CrossCam'](/r/CrossView/search?sort=relevance&feature=legacy_search&q=crosscam&t=all&include_over_18=on&restrict_sr=on) you can see some great shots taken with it. Actually, thinking about it, I do still get the occasional unusable scene so I reckon I will give it a try. :^)

anybody can make cross views, and i made a mobile app to make it really easy. it's free and available on iOS and Android. it's called CrossCam. please install it and show us what the world looks like where you are!

I haven't done 3D printing but a quick search turned up this page: http://www.soliforum.com/topic/928/parametric-models/

Some of them are 3D models generated from mathematical parametric functions, but others take a different definition.

It looks like others are models that are considered "parametric" because they have "parameters," so you can tweak the size or proportions of the object based on your needs.

One example would be if you needed to print gears with different numbers of teeth, you could make a parametric model that lets you specify the number of teeth and it generates a new model.

Here's a model where you can tweak the number of nubs and the hole diameter of the thumb screw: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4012

I made this entirely with a free app I made called CrossCam. I made the app specifically for this subreddit over the past 6 months because I didn't like the other mobile app options we had. If you've made a cross view before, I guarantee it's easier than anything else you've tried. If you've never made a cross view before, it's a great place to start. Please try it out because you trying it out and having fun and posting your creations here makes me very happy.

I took this with an app I made called CrossCam. It’s really easy to make cross views like this that need hundreds of feet of separation between the shots with CrossCam because you can just keep walking and checking the live preview as you go to see if you’ve walked far enough. CrossCam is also free.

hey i made this with a free mobile app called CrossCam.

i also happen to be the person who made CrossCam over the last 6 months.

have you tried it? just search in the app store for CrossCam.

you could also follow this link to download CrossCam on Android.

you might also follow this link to download CrossCam on iOS.

thank you.

CrossCam is a mobile app i spent the last 8 months making because i was dissatisfied with existing mobile apps for making cross views. it's awesome because it gives you a live side-by-side preview so you don't have to keep retaking photos because something's off. CrossCam is free and available on both iOS and Android.

If you just want to view it in greyscale without actually editing the file, install f.lux which includes a setting that allows you to turn your monitor to greyscale. In the f.lux hamburger menu, "Effects and extra colors" > "Grayscale". Or if your monitor supports it, just turn the contrast down to zero, no software required.

. Here is an Unknown and UnDiscovered Stereoscopic work as Dali plays with one of Belesz techniques. He cuts out a piece and moves it over just a Julesz describes in link provided below but Dali creates Art with Amazing Eye Popping Effects. For more personal insight by Leo Atreides, the Internet Sleuth that could see further than Experts, you can order the book with over 20 New Sterescopic Paintings that he believes #Dali wanted us to discover. You be the judge after looking at the evidence and seeing what he has to say. And also see what clues Leo shares like easter eggs in the book too :) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B5KQSFVQ/ref=sr_1_1?qid=1656765219&refinements=p_27%3AMr+Leo+Atreides&s=books&sr=1-1&text=Mr+Leo+Atreides

if you're up for doing one last thing - there is a helpful app that can give you a lot of technical information about the cameras on your phone by interrogating them directly rather than relying on documentation/marketing materials. it's called Camera2 API Probe: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.airbeat.device.inspector

if you install that you can open it and see all kind of interesting stuff about your phone's cameras, but it can also send that information to me if you scroll down to the bottom of the first page and tap the "SEND EMAIL" button and send it to . thanks!

i'm starting to suspect that CrossCam is actually doing exactly what i want it to do, but Huawei in particular really goes nuts with camera resolutions and so i need to add some kind of capability of allowing the user to set their own resolution ceiling. the super high resolution is probably also why the captures seem to be delayed for you.

It will help a lot if you use a tripod or monopod with an Arca-Swiss-type clamp, and on your camera an extra long plate for the clamp, like this:

https://www.amazon.com/Fotasy-Release-Arca-Swiss-Standard-Ballhead/dp/B00KC9V8IC

They do make glasses, but for parallelview.

My wife made this bread but I made CrossCam and made this post with it.

To be honest, After Effects is all I use. I imagine most other video software could handle those tasks though.

Maybe this?

If anyone else knows another, please mention it.

The phenomenon involved in the "perceptual oscillations" between the two cross-fused images is called binocular rivalry (on the cited link there are some example crossview images).

Looks like the crater was created by a giant conical drill bit. Of course that is partly due to the hyper-stereo rendering, but the surfaces are so clean and well formed. https://www.amazon.com/Vastar-Titanium-Drill-Speed-Steel/dp/B073JM4D8F

I wonder how old this crater is? Probably relatively young.

Shooting in manual is pretty empowering imo. Here's one from the app store - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.intermedia.hd.camera.professional It looks pretty good, but I can't really say, I haven't used it. I lucked out, my last couple of Android phones have had cameras with manual controls as an option to use. I shoot with a regular camera most of the time, and shoot mainly in manual, so I don't use my manual controls on the cell that much anymore, but I love having the ability to do so.

Between the spider, and the cactus, and the plants, that definitely looks like San Diego. Balboa Park is great, and I love it when the orb weavers are there, they are such gorgeous spiders, and the park is awesome as well.

I made CrossCam and made this with it.

This was actually taken using two phones synchronized using CrossCam, however I’m still developing that functionality and it is not yet available in the production version. I just thought this was a cool test shot to share.

I made a mobile app that makes this stuff pretty easy. Seems like folks like it. It's called CrossCam.

iOS: https://itunes.apple.com/app/id1436262905

Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kra2008.crosscam

The images in your posts seem to be a bit misaligned, the image on the left seems to be a bit higher for example. I reccomend downloading the app CrossCam by u/kraa2008. I use this for my posts and I think it helps, or you can ask experienced users like u/stereotron or u/turbguy for help

There are lots of articles out there about rotation (and nearly every other intricacy of these things), and through reading that stuff and experimenting myself I've concluded that rotating inward is ok only on certain scales. There's math around it you can do to find out the specifics, but generally rotating inward can make a cross view really gross if its done too far on a small/close up subject. However, even then it can often be fixed by doing "keystone" corrections after capture, which means shrinking the photos vertically only at the inside edges. It's sort of like squishing the middle of the pair of pictures so together they are more like a bow tie shape than a long rectangle. However, I've found you'll always be safe if you just move on a straight line with no rotation at all.

You'll want to move the camera somewhere between 1/10 to 1/30 the distance to the subject. Moving further will increase the depth that results.

If you'd like to experiment with these concepts quickly, you can try the app I made called CrossCam. It gives you a live cross view preview which makes it really easy to experiment in real time. It also lets you do the keystone corrections I mentioned earlier (though not in real time).

(Disclosure: I am the maker of CrossCam.)

consider growing an army to replace it. i've had great results with these seeds, even when two years old: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0186OXXKA

also i use devices like this for constant unattended watering: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01A88XX0W (i originally bought two packs of those for $17, i have no idea why they went up to $44 - there are other makers of similar products).

Well at least you tried :) Maybe you might be more interested in the book on Amazon. That way you can compare at your own pace. And there are painting sketches and overlays to compare the outlines better. https://www.amazon.com/Did-Leonardo-VInci-create-Paintings/dp/1651455465/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=Did+Leonardo+da+vinci+create+paintings+in+3d&qid=1578008501&sr=8-1

Also, if you’re willing to do it for me, and I’d really appreciate it if you would, there is an app that would give me the in-depth specs on the camera on your phone. It’s called Camera2 API Probe: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.airbeat.device.inspector If you open it up you can scroll to the very bottom and email the info to .

Again, thank you for the info so far, and anything else you are willing to give me is also very appreciated.

its seems too far turned to be comfortable, even for me. i don't know if you'd be interested but i actually made a mobile app to address that problem. the app gives you a live preview you can cross view with so that you don't move too little or too much between captures. it's called CrossCam and it's free and has no ads and it's on both Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kra2008.crosscam and on iOS: https://itunes.apple.com/app/id1436262905

also, just a note, since it seems more like you're turning than sliding, some keystone correction might be appropriate, which you can also apply with CrossCam.

I made CrossCam and used CrossCam to make this. CrossCam is free, easy to use, and available:

on Android

and on iOS.

i'd love to see what you can see! use CrossCam to show me! it's easy! and free!

Thanks for those. Here's a pretty decent one I found while searching around:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.midva.FindTheDifferenceRooms&rdid=com.midva.FindTheDifferenceRooms

We had this one when I was small.

I use StereoPhoto Maker on PC to align the pictures and set the depth. As for phone apps, I saw this yesterday, but I don't know if it actually does anything beyond let you take two pictures and then display them next to each other.
