ans of single image random dot stereograms will be happy to Fknow that this evolving 3-D technique now exists in a form other than loose sheets of paper, postcards, or magazine clippings. Random Dot Stereograms by Andrew A. Kinsman is an 8% x 11 inch, 136 page book filled with random dot 3-D images from the most basic geometric shapes to highly complex designs including faces and entire human forms. Most of the images are presented nearly full- page in size, providing far better impact than any smaller versions of these always intriguing patterns of pixels. Kinsman's book, however, pro- vides far more than just a collection of fun-to-fuse stereograms. The first few chapters include in careful detail the basics of stereo viewing, the history and nature of random dot stereograms (both as image pairs and as interwoven single frame images), and an illustrated explanation of just how the images are combined to provide multiple planes of depth. A "random line stereogram" is included to demonstrate graphically the shifting of picture elements relative to each other using vertical bars of varying thickness - some of which are offset just enough to produce a floating oval shape when free viewed.

The increased film speed, plus the inherent quality of 70mm stock, results in an image of exceptional resolution and sharpness on the screen while 3-D adds a heightened sense of realism.

Over the years he has developed what is probably the finest collection of Belgium-made reels in the world today, to say nothing of the extensive variety of U.S. produced reels also in his collection, which consists of about 15,000 reels. At age 15, Harry received his first 3-D camera, a View-Master Person- al, and began shooting his own View-Master reels.

Harry then started a series of smaller books, each including three View-Master reels. A larger project, 3-0 irnagics , was also devised and published by Harry. This book, with text by Wim van Keulen, contains 12 View-Master reels outlin- ing the history of stereo photography. (See SW Vo1.17 No.5, page34.) These books have been published because of Harry's love of 3-D.

Harry is directly responsible for the reels in the accompanying list, and without his work we would never have seen some of the great 3-D images they include. All the published 3-D books are available directly from Harry by mail, and we can only tell you that these are something no collection should be without. The latest offering is Gylden Storm (Golden Tempest).

Although not actually produced by Harry, these are available through him and "include some of the strangest reels you will ever see" to quote Harry. The set was created to be exhibited concurrently with the performance of the Gylden Storm opera through- out Denmark. The reels are also odd in the sense that the scenes seem to por- tray action reminiscent of the silent movie era. A semi-nude woman in a scene on reel five is also a View-Master oddity.

STEREO WORLD lanuary/FrhmarY 1991 W 2 More New 3-D Cameras from Image Tech

he most serious effort yet at gaining 3-D imaging a foothold Tin the mass photographic market has come in the form of two new cameras from Image Technolo- gy International. Following their 3- lens Image Tech 3-D 1000TM(Jan./ Feb. '91 page 26) and the 5-lens PR0645TM(Sept./Oct. '92 page 26), the company has turned its attention to the lowest price range of the market with the 3D WIZARDTM and the single-use 3D MAGICTM. The Magic Introduced at recent Photo Mar- keting Association show in Atlanta, the 3D MAGIC is the world's first single-use ("disposable") 3-D camera, and uses the same three-lens format as the 3D 1000 (Trilogy) to produce sets of negatives for making lenticular prints. Each camera, While the 30 MAGICTMis fixed focus with a single shutter speed and apertirre, it does with its simple plastic body pack- feature a hot shoe for a dedicated external flash unit.

and 3-D prints. Expected retail price for the Hong Kong made camera is "around $15.OO1'. Pro- cessing charges for the 16 3-D prints (from the pre-loaded ASA 400 color negative film) will be $14.40 including shipping. The company estimates a production time of three to four days depending on season and volume. The Wizard Also introduced at the PMA trade show was the 3D WIZARD, a reload- able point-and-shoot 3-D camera designed to bring 3-lens lenticular stereography down to the "$50." price range.

Like the 3D 1000, the Wizard features a single speed Moo second shutter and three fixed focus glass triplet lenses with a focal length of 30mm instead of the 1000's 33mm. In addition to a built in flash, the Wizard has manual aperture settings of ft5.6, ft9.5, and f/16 which are independent of the flash switch. This actually gives it more flexibility than the 3D 1000 with fewer electronic features to fail - all at about one-third the price. In addition to the expected retail store availability, both cameras are being stocked by Reel 3-D Enter- prises. Call or write for exact prices, ordering information and availability.
