Support I have supplemented 2 other versions on the image page: (a) with reversed images for parallel viewing and (b) the right image of the stereo pair as an individual image. These versions are provided as follows: (a) for those who possess a stereoscopic viewer and (b) for the large group of individuals (20-40% by some assessments) who cannot combine stereo images into one composite image. -- Franz van Duns (talk) 17:01, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support Brilliant, especially when viewed as a stereo image. It's nice to see people on Commons doing that kind of work. But it would be FP even without, for me. Cmao20 (talk) 19:26, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Question -- where were these photos taken? Seven Pandas (talk) 21:46, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- According to the file page, "Dortmund, Germany. Own garden" (there's a geotag, too). — Rhododendrites ^talk | 23:07, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Question Do we have a tool to facilitate viewing this on-wiki? I really appreciate the nomination, but I feel like it's hard to evaluate with just a cross-eyed method? — Rhododendrites ^talk | 23:07, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment As mentioned above I have added a separate version for parallel viewing on the image page. Alas, I do not know of any tool within the Wiki universe that would enable parallel or cross-eyed viewing. Anyone else?
  Speaking for myself, I can focus on a stereo image of any size via cross-eyed viewing within seconds (even 27" full screen is no problem), but have great difficulties with parallel viewing, even with a black cardboard placed all the way from nose to screen to separate the images. My wife cannot focus on any variant of "free-floating" 3D images, only a (long gone) primitive plastic stereoscope with tiny images that she had possessed as a child did the trick. I guess we must wait for the arrival of a stereo viewer that can deal with stereo images side by side on a 27" screen. Any ideas? -- Franz van Duns (talk) 13:08, 25 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment A way to expierience a parallel view image in 3D is to load the image with any gallery app on any smartphone and putting the smartphone in any VRgoggles. No additional software (VR or other) is needed. Even people who normally have no 3D vision (but can see with both eyes but because of a medical condition in 2D only) will experiences the 3D effect (but only for some minutes as the vision region of the brain is not used to it, and will stop to process 3D information). Any VRgoggles will do. In germany "Euroshop" sells cardboard versions in starwars design at 1 €. --C.Suthorn (talk) 18:25, 25 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment @C.Suthorn: Thank you for this vital hint! As you might have guessed by my appeal to all, I don't have access to any of the required stereo display apps and this obvious solution simply didn't occur to me at the moment of writing.
  This is maybe slightly off-topic, but it is nevertheless very intensely related to the topic of "which options do I have to easily view stereo images" and I surely am not the only person who encounters this problem seeking a solution. I do own a Microsoft Lumia 950XL I purchased some years ago because of the (then) top quality take-along camera, but I download all images for further processing on to my 32 GByte RAM workhorse desktop computer and so far haven't encountered the need to install anything on my smartphone.
  Perhaps a modernised and informative image on the relevant wikipedia pages "Stereoscopy" and "de:Stereoskopie" plus a short descriptive article describing how to "easily achieve stereo viewing by means of a smartphone and a simple cardboard VR goggle" would inspire those looking for such a simple solution. If someone would provide the German version I'd do the English translation - or vice versa.
  P.S.: I've just surveyed some of the German online market sites, but most cardboard VR goggles won't accept the Lumia's 6.5" size without a lot of extra cutting. Well, why not, the only parts I really need seem to be the two identical lenses! -- Franz van Duns (talk) 10:03, 26 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment @All: First of all a great Thank You for your support!
  Just one more comment as a temporary summary to this look-aside thread. Would it be of any interest to continue this subject on e.g. the talk page of "Stereoscopy" or "de:Stereoskopie" with the intent of adding modernised content?
  First impression with my smartphone: unaided cross-eyed viewing works straight out of the box, albeit with a complete loss of detail. I.e., although the Lumia has exactly the same resolution as my 27" monitor (2560x1440 pixels) the perceived resolution is absolutely dismal. Haven't yet purchased a cardboard smartphone VR viewer with integrated lenses for parallel arranged stereo images; this contraption should hopefully improve my viewing experience. -- Franz van Duns (talk) 11:22, 27 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  - I think it might be useful to start a page not on Wikipedia but on Commons, with the aim of explaining the different forms and different ways to view them. I have a Google Cardboard somewhere, but I don't really want to have to pull out my phone for it. I can see the cross-eyed images, but it's not a pleasurable/practical experience to use that method, which is why I asked about others. Regardless, Support. — Rhododendrites ^talk | 16:21, 27 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    - It might be a start, to replace the image of a viewmaster as icon in the parallel view template with VR goggles. I do not think, that many people know what a viewmaster is, or how it works. (and it will even show only viewmaster images, almost all of which are copyrighted and not available for commons) --C.Suthorn (talk) 20:55, 27 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
