i’m afraid i’ll look back and regret that i didn’t capture 3d memories of parents and grandparents when it was technically feasible because of a few dollars…


Well, there are stereo cameras… The digital ones came and went with 3D TVs though so you have to go to eBay. I am enjoying the stereo cameras I have accumulated though.


This is nice if pricey

It eats batteries but you can get a charger and more batteries the way you would have a few mirrorless generations ago.

My trouble is not really having a system to show these to people, red/green anglyohs sometimes work fret but aren’t consistent, there doesn’t seem to be an ‘instagram’ for sharing stereo photos, it ought to be easy to make a WebXR application to show stereograms but I haven’t seen a fully realized one and found texture memory limits are a bitch in the MQ3 so my first attempt to make one got stuck.


I've taken to (tediously) printing stereogram cards for the better 3D photos.

I wrote this to take the .MPO files (a common file format on the earlier commercial digital stereo cameras) and convert them to print-ready stereograms: https://github.com/EngineersNeedArt/Stereographer


Canon's got two 3d fish-eye lenses for their RF and RF-s mount cameras. Their software can even produce Apple spatial images. https://global.canon/en/news/2025/20250610.html
