Stereoscopic Photography, Stereo Images and the History of 3D

This web­site brings togeth­er three close­ly con­nect­ed projects: Stere­osite, the Vir­tu­al Stereo­scop­ic Muse­um, and the Vir­tu­al Stereo­scop­ic Com­mu­ni­ty.

Explore Stereoscopy

Stere­osite is ded­i­cat­ed to the his­to­ry, tech­niques and prac­tice of stere­oscopy. Its arti­cles explore his­tor­i­cal devel­op­ments, equip­ment, pho­tog­ra­phers and col­lec­tions as well as con­tem­po­rary approach­es to cre­at­ing and view­ing stereo images.

Tutorials and Resources

Tuto­ri­als pro­vide prac­ti­cal guid­ance on stereo pho­tog­ra­phy, image prepa­ra­tion and dif­fer­ent view­ing meth­ods, com­ple­ment­ed by resources for any­one who wants to explore stere­oscopy in greater depth.

Virtual Stereoscopic Museum

The Vir­tu­al Stereo­scop­ic Muse­um presents a grow­ing col­lec­tion of stere­o­scopes, cam­eras, pho­tographs, glass slides, books and oth­er objects from the his­to­ry of stereoscopy.

Vis­it the muse­um at stereoscopicmuseum.org.

Virtual Stereoscopic Community

The Vir­tu­al Stereo­scop­ic Com­mu­ni­ty (VSC) brings togeth­er stereo enthu­si­asts from around the world through online meet­ings, pre­sen­ta­tions and com­mu­ni­ty activities.

Its gal­leries fea­ture con­tem­po­rary 3D pho­tog­ra­phy by mem­bers and contributors.

Vis­it the com­mu­ni­ty at vsc3d.com.

View Stereo Images Your Way

On pages con­tain­ing stereo­scop­ic images, the Stereo View Switch­er appears as a float­ing tool in the bot­tom-right cor­ner. It lets you choose your pre­ferred view­ing method, which is remem­bered as you move through the site.

Contributions

Con­tri­bu­tions from pho­tog­ra­phers, col­lec­tors and researchers are always wel­come. Images for gal­leries can be uploaded direct­ly for review. If you would like to share a gallery, project or spe­cial­ist knowl­edge, please con­tact pascal@stereosite.com — I’d be very hap­py to hear from you.
