Keeping with the themes of papercraft and getting things done, I figured that I would build something that I’ve been meaning to for quite a while: a stereo viewer for my iPod Touch.<\/p>\n
Minh and I bought a pair of reading lenses<\/a>\u00a0a while ago with this in mind. Here’s a picture of the original testing we did. When held very close to the eyes, these lens do a great job of focussing each half of a side-by-side stereo image.<\/p>\n I initially thought that I would make an\u00a0fov2go<\/a>, but the lenses I have appear to be too small (that, and the fov2go build look fairly complicated). So I just winged it.<\/p>\n The lens remind me of cat eyes, and I decorated the viewer to be even more cat-themed.<\/p>\n Overall, the viewer works quite well (with a rather convincing 3D effect) despite the image bleed (because I didn’t put in a central divider). If you make a similar device, you can easily test it by searching for “yt3d” videos on YouTube. (Interestingly, there’s a full-length 3D version of Titanic on Youtube… although it’s not in English.)<\/p>\n If anything, making this has just made me want a Hasbro My3D<\/a>. They’re currently cheap to buy in the US (presumably\u00a0since they were made for the last generation of iOS devices), but shipping to Australia is awfully expensive. On the other hand, I think they’re cool and you can make games for it using Unity3D<\/a>… hmmm… maybe I’ll just wait for my Occulus Rift<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Today’s creative journal inspiration: “What’s your favourite animal?
