However, as the way people see three-dimensional images differs from person to person, there is no need to be too con- cerned. Refer to the table below for a simple guide to how far to move the camera.

●Viewing 3D pictures by the parallel method and cross method

As our eyes are positioned about 6~7cm apart, there is a very slight deviation between what we see with our right eye and what we see with our left eye. The difference is processed by our brain to produce a three-dimensional image. This principle is applied to taking and viewing 3D pictures.

3D pictures can be viewed by the parallel method where the left and right lines of vision are virtually parallel, as when looking at a distant scene, or the cross method where the left and right lines of vision are crossed, as when you cross your eyes. A certain amount of practice may be necessary to view 3D pictures without using the viewer.
