Introduction � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴캑 Stereograms are also known as spatial images. � The trick behind them is the way of our eyes � work : the image that we see forms by merging � the image that the left eye sees with that of � the right eye sees. Also, you got to know that � all this happens inside your head. :-) � 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컵컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 � 2. I wanna see ! � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴캑 There are several ways to see those images : � � (1) Try a simple one : draw 2 filled circles on a � paper. Then stare at them, until you'll see � 4 points that will slowly merge into 3 points. � Accomplish this by staring BEHIND the paper. � � (2) Look close to the screen (monitor) until the � image blurs. Then go away very slowly, till � you're 30cm (14 inches) off the screen. By now � all you got to do is staring until the stereo- � image becomes clear. � � (3) If you got a monitor radiation filter, turn � luminosity off, look at your image reflected � on the filter, then turn on the luminosity. � This is a variation of (2). � � It's advisable to try several times, until � you'll see a thing. It's difficult the first time- � until you got the skill. The keyword is, though, � PATIENCE ! � 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컵컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 � 3. Contents � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴캑 This package contains 17 stereograms, based � on 3D objects from Newtek's Lightwave, Autodesk � 3D Studio and Truespace. Objects were processed � both with Lightwave Modeler and Caligari's TrueSpace. � Textures were processed using KPT Texture Explorer � and Improcess. � Stereograms were generated with my program FAST_R. � All code is Borland Pascal and it took me 4 days to � create and optimize the generator. Time for creating � this package : 2 1/2 weeks (including 3D objects � processing, coding, generation and final re-touches). � Here's a brief list of the stereograms: � � butterfl.bmp ......... a butterfly; � cow.bmp ......... of course, a cow; � dc10.bmp ......... a passenger plane; � duck.bmp ......... what else could it be !? � elk.bmp ......... yes, that's it ! � eot.bmp ......... engine of torture - it � contains a gear, a sphere, � a main cilinder and some � circles; � heli.bmp ......... a chopper; � horse.bmp ......... !? � karg.bmp ......... a mask, my nickname 'Karg', � and circle-spheres-cones � engraved on a block. � lion.bmp ......... guess what :-)? � omega.bmp ......... it says 'OMEGA RED'; � porsche.bmp ......... a Porsche car; � spike.bmp ......... a thorny object; � tiger.bmp ......... what it says; � tricycle.bmp ......... a 3-wheels ...!? � woman.bmp ......... yeah...chicks ! chicks ! � x29.bmp ......... a fighter plane; � 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컵컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 � 4. Tech info � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴캑 Hmmm, better not here. Strong skills of linear � algebra and trigonometry are required. If you still � want it, search in my homepage at tutorial section. � Check it out for explanation and source code : � � http://www.cs.utt.ro/~ds1050 � � However, I won't release any stereogram generator. � It's alot of work and I don't think it worth the � effort. Feel free to send me any suggestions, comments � or commercial requests. The fast way is e-mail � connection : � � ds1050@cs.utt.ro � 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컵컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 � 5.
