First test of the cross-eyed 3D technique using IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs Of Dover. Probably works best when viewed in Expanded view on Youtube. If viewing Full screen you might have to sit a bit further back from the screen than usual, as the image is a bit big.

Man that is totaly awesome.. once you get it finially in focus and block the 2 images on each side.. really is amazing

nice work

Thanks for the feedback.

Having played around with these images a bit now, I've found there are a couple of important factors in avoiding eye-strain while viewing and making them.

As the end user/viewer, you must have your eyes horizontally level with the picture, and you must have your eyes the right distance from the picture in order to allow your eyes to just relax out of focus and not strain to make the out of focus pictures merge. If you move your head back and forth you can use that as a focussing method and see how close you can get to the pictures before they become too big for your eyes to merge comfortably. I find I have to move further back from the screen than usual when viewing the images fullscreen on Youtube for example.

As the picture-maker, you have to make sure the two separate images are identical in terms of their content (which can be hard to do when the Cliffs Of Dover replays often don't generate the same objects and effects on consecutive plays), and identical in terms of being in synch with each other if they're moving pictures.

Beyond that, I guess you've just got to make sure you don't overdo it and strain yourself, just like anything really.

I thought this was a raaaid thread at first... I'm surprised at how well it works but a couple of minutes is enough for my eyes! The shadows in the cockpit work very well in the video, interesting.

Pretty impressive. HD Stereoscopic visor anyone?

Really cool stuff!

Any chance you can remake those vids in anaglyph (red/cyan) 3d?

Sorry mate, I've already burnt the negs. Deleted the original footage that is.
