3D vision is indeed an amazing thing and capturing content in 3D and then displaying it is something that doesn't fail to amaze. No wonder the shows are houseful whenever there is a 3D movie playing at the theater. While creating a 3D movie takes a bit of expertise, creating 3D photographs is a lot easier. All you need is some amount of photography skill, software to create 3D photographs using the clicked images, and some amount of skill of craftsmanship to make your own 3D glasses to view those photographs. We will show you in this step-by-step guide how you can achieve just that.

A. Click the photograph

This requires a digital camera and basic photography skills. The first thing that you have to do is to search for stationary objects to be photographed. You can even have humans as the subject, but make sure that they do not move for the few seconds that are required to click the photographs.

In order to make a 3D photograph, you need two photographs - one each for left and right eye perspective. This is done so that in the final 3D image, each eye sees what is intended for it, thus tricking the brain into believing that there is in fact one 3D view instead of two 2D photos.







Hold your camera in a horizontal position. Focus and click one photo. Make sure that the subject stays still, while you shift the position of the camera around 6 cm to the right, keeping the subject in focus at the exact same location of the field of view. Click the second photo.



Photo for the left eye




Photo for the right eye


By now, you may have understood that the first photo is for the left eye, while the second one is for the right. Preview the images one after another to see if they are not offset too much from each other. This is necessary to create a good 3D photo.

I had already tried it long time ago..Glasses made using Gelatin paper doesn't work as per my experiment. You need cellophane sheets in order to achieve desired 3D effects. And I couldn't find that paper anywhere, so I ended up buying 3D glasses on ebay (only 200 rs for 5 pieces)..not bad !!

what if u wear spectacles.....will sticking the gelatin sheets on the lenses work the same or is the opaque obstruction offered by the cardboard neccessary for the effect?

The cardboard only provides as the frame of the glasses and is not responsible in producing the effect. You can wear these glasses over your spectacles
