A Quirk of Science - Simple Trick to Watch 2D Pictures in 3D
posted January 3, 2008 - 4:12amWatch 2D Pictures in 3D Using a Simple Trick - Amazing Quirk of Science
I came across this breathtaking simple trick to watch 2D photos and pictures in 3D. This method is so simple you may not believe it. Its actually a quirk of science in a way. You do not need any software, equipment or tool. You just need one eye. Yes, one eye. That’s all you need. Its that simple.
Well here is the method.
You take any family or other 2D normal photograph taken with a camera. Keep the picture in front of you, as you would see the picture. Now you need to cover your one eye(any) with the cupped palm of your hand. Now see the picture with one eye. Be patient and keep seeing. Within seconds you will be able to see the 2d picture in 3D. The picture will spring into 3D almost instantly. It was an amazing experience for me looking at pictures in this way.
The reason why you see in 3D the pictures taken in 2D is because with one eye you cannot fathom the flatness of the photo (which you could have done with two eyes). So the effect is to see the same visual and dimensional depth that the camera was viewing when you took that picture.
This works best with family pictures taken in natural surroundings. See the actual pictures in normal light. Below are some natural pictures of high resolution that can be seen in this way.
(Note: When closing one eye, make sure you make a cup with your palm to cover the eye, else if you press the palm into your eye, it may cloud your vision temporarily.)
Your home pictures album must be full of nostalgic memories. Now you can see them in different light and angle too !
