  • Patent number: 5371562
    Abstract: A stereoscopic disk for viewing stereo images in a binocular viewer includes a film disk with a plurality of stereo image pairs disposed around the periphery of the film disk, sandwiched between a pair of disks of opaque material defining windows, in which the stereo images on the film disk are located. A method for making the stereoscopic disks includes the steps of making a master image of the stereoscopic images arranged in a circular pattern, printing the master image onto photographic film, laminating the film with strips of opaque material having windows for the images on the disk, and punching out the finished disk from the laminated assembly. A simple stereo viewer employs the film disks without the laminations.
