You don't have a clue, 3D photography is not an optical "trick" , it is the same way humans are able to sense depth. Each eye sees a slightly different point of view due to the spacing between them. 3D photography is same exact principle, two lenses, two slightly different images, and the special viewing is just so that each of the viewer's eyes only sees the image recorded for that eye. A 3D photo is NOT a two dimensional image, its two 2D dimensional images that RECREATE a 3D scene, something a single 2D image cant do. JCO

Three dimensional quality is a perfectly valid descriptor of a very real optical rendering, whether you agree or not is moot. William Robb
