  • Method and apparatus for making stereoscopic pictures
    Patent number: 4040071
    Abstract: The invention relates generally to stereo photography and particularly to a simple method and apparatus which enables an unskilled individual to produce three-dimensional stereoscopic pictures through the use of inexpensive, readily available cameras and viewing devices.
