Web Browser and VR Stereo Image Viewing

If you are visiting in VR use the Stereopix viewer, you will start in the 2024 gallery and can select others from there. Chose XR in the viewer for VR.

If not use the HTML-5 stereo photo viewer written by Masuji Suto. It provides anaglyph, side-by-side and a few other formats. It defaults to side-by-side half width (SBS50) which works with most 3D TVs. If you have red/cyan glasses click on "SBS50" in the menu and select "SPM_ana" or you can choose "Single" to view in 2D. I modified the HTML-5 viewer by adding a menu item to download the image displayed. It is under the menu heading "Help". If you download remember that all rights are reserved, only for personal enjoyment. If you are visiting in VR use the Stereopix viewer.

History

After I returned from my first burn in 1996 I wanted to share my stereoscopic photos. It was a time when the internet was the thing to do. In keeping with the spirit of Burning Man I decided to keep the site free from advertising and not for profit. It is meant as a gift to the community, so I pay a few hundred dollars a year to keep it on line.

In 2015 I gave the site a major update. Over the years I tried a variety of ways of sharing 3D on the web. When this web site first went on line in 1997, it seemed like 300x200 resolution was fine for people with dial up modems. I made the images in anaglyph (red/blue), cross-eye, and side-by-side. Later I tried a browser plug-in called DepthCharge that used shutter 3D glasses, but that technology only lasted a few years. Then I used Java applets, unfortunately Java applets are no longer supported either. Rebuilding the web site was a huge task, beginning with re-scanning hundreds of stereoscopic slides to get higher resolution. After many hundreds of hours of work, the site was modernized. It continues to evolve as VR options change.
