If you don't know, stereographs are those side-by-side photographs you see every once in a while. They were entertainment back in the late 19th and early 20th century.
The code was written by a guy named Joshua Heineman. You can read all about this quirky computer guy on their about page.
I LOVE GEEKY LIBRARIANS!
Give it a try here
I did.

It does make me a little dizzy though. Maybe I should have chosen a different image.
I like this one:

Doesn't it look sort of 3-D in a weird shaky way?
Go try it out.
Have a great weekend

I loved those stereograph things when I was a kid. My aunt had some. I though they were really cool.
ReplyDeleteI like the second GIF better.
The last one is definitely cool. Reminds me of the times we would see those in the children's museums.
ReplyDeleteYou KNOW I love librarian fun!
ReplyDeleteWorld's Fair ANYTHING gets my attention.
ReplyDeleteThose are really cool! My great-grandmother had some of those - I remember being so fascinated with them when I was a kid. OK, I'm still fascinated. ;)
ReplyDeleteYou know I've just remembered that this was how the RAF and the USAF bombed the crap out of the Nazi's. Not the flickering thing but the stereoscope.
ReplyDeleteFascinating. I didn't know that.
ReplyDeleteYes, it was how the V1 launchers were discovered on the west wall and how the V2 were spotted on the dunes at Peenemünde. See this. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Peenemunde_test_stand_VII.jpg
ReplyDeleteReally cool! Thanks, for publishing so we could see.
