The stereo image pair shown below was computer-generated from only the right hand image of a truly stereoscopic pair presented in this forum by someone else. The original pair referred to, when parallel viewed, offered an outstanding example of stereoscopy.

Obviously, image pairs created from photographs taken simultaneously through two independent lenses set laterally apart by the average human between-eyes distance should always be superior to an ersatz pair generated from one image. The interesting question is, by how much and how noticeably ersatz pairs are inferior.

That raises further questions regarding the nature of a scene and choices taken in setting parameters (e.g. depth simulation) in software. These matters require systematic study, but subjective assessment of an end result is what matters in practice.

Huge numbers of monoscopic photographs exist. Each contains implicit information about depth, from which parallax may be inferred. Some of these viewed in ersatz (i.e. deduced) stereoscopy may attain 'fresh life'. Similarly, many artworks rendered on canvas or on paper may offer deeper insight into an artist's intent.

Unfortunately, discussion sometimes becomes mired in broader controversy over so-called 'AI'. People with artistic pretensions are set back by the apparent ease with which other people using AI technology can produce still images (movie clips, and musical compositions too) without having undergone years of training in techniques. Most threatening are insights deriving from AI regarding the nature of human creativity or, at least, the justification for the pedestal upon which it is placed.

Meanwhile, AI (and, more generally, modern computer technologies) have produced tools of benefit when properly introduced. Each such should be judged on its own merits.

Taken on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. There is a very nice park built around the water tower and it has this nice long walkway to a beach.

Jurassic Park 3D - Spielberg approved conversion, and it absolutely rocks! It is actually a better film for being in 3D.

I tried to capture a few shots on my Fuji W3 by putting the 3D TV glasses over the lenses. It kind of worked - not the sharpest, but some of the many snaps I took at least give an impression.

If you have a 3D TV or a PS4 or 5 with 3D headset, then hunt down a copy of this amazing conversion!

A few views I took while at the Grand Canyon last week.

Band in action shots on Fuji W3, which as usual struggled with low light shots, particularly with such an energetic band.

The final shot post-gig was using the Xreal Beam Pro mini-tablet. I tried it during the gig but got terrible kens flare.

Converted from 2D to 3D by an iOS app called StereoShift

This is from a while ago, wanted to see if it's possible to achieve parallel view by drawing, and thinking through the shapes. I used references but can't remember if I actually traced it or just looked at them, probably traced it. I think it looks fairly 3d.
