Abstract: A system for producing motion pictures comprises a television camera, television receiver, and a special optical device. The optical device is capable of adjustment to a picture-taking mode wherein the device, when placed before the lens of the camera, produces side-by-side left and right rectangular images of the subject. When adjusted to a viewing mode and utilized to view said side-by-side images on the television receiver, said images are separately delivered to the viewing person's left and right eyes, thereby producing a stereoscopic effect.
