VSC Meeting, April 2024

Sunday, April 7th 2024, 2pm EDT / 8pm CEST

Join us for an excit­ing vir­tu­al gath­er­ing! We’re delight­ed to wel­come William Angel as he shares his exper­tise with the LeiaPix 2D to 3D con­ver­sion app. Dis­cov­er how he trans­forms ordi­nary pho­tographs into cap­ti­vat­ing stereo­scop­ic images through his engag­ing slideshow.

Step into the enchant­i­ng world of steam­punk with Vanes­sa Grein and David Kuntz as they show­case their cap­ti­vat­ing short film, “Steam­punk Menagerie”.

Behind the cur­tain, Pas­cal has been work­ing on a major exten­sion for stereosite.com and we can’t wait for all of you to vis­it his Stereo­scop­ic Museum.

Don’t for­get to bring along your lat­est 3D items and any burn­ing ques­tions you have for a lit­tle Show, Tell & Ask seg­ment at the end of our meet­ing. We can’t wait to con­nect with you all on Sunday!

Using the Leiapix 2D to 3D Conversion App to Produce Stereoscopic Images

William Angel

My slideshow illus­trates how I have used the Leiapix 2D to 3D con­ver­sion app to con­vert some of my reg­u­lar pho­tographs into stereo­scop­ic images. I believe that these images illus­trate some of the sit­u­a­tions where a 2D to 3D image con­ver­sion yields bet­ter results than tak­ing two images in sequence that are slight­ly off­set ( using the “cha cha” step to the side method) and then com­bin­ing those two images into a stereo pair. This would include sit­u­a­tions where there are peo­ple and ani­mals present in the scene.

Photographer Spotlight

The Steampunk Menagerie

Vanes­sa Grein and David Kuntz

This short film will trans­port you into the world of steam­punk – a genre inspired by Vic­to­ri­an Era indus­tri­al­ism that is simul­ta­ne­ous­ly retro and futuristic. 

Vanes­sa Grein and David Kuntz will take you there in their imag­i­na­tive and fan­ci­ful stereo card set Steam­punk Menagerie. This set depicts var­i­ous steam­punk crea­tures and won the Tex Tread­well Award at 3D-Con 2023. Vanes­sa and David will also give some insights into their inspi­ra­tions and bring some of the orig­i­nal Steam­punk fig­urines to the meeting.
