Learn Stereo Viewing
Stereo photography creates the illusion of depth by showing slightly different images to each eye. Here's how to train your eyes to see in 3D.
Cross-Eye Viewing
The most common technique. Cross your eyes to merge two side-by-side images into one 3D view.

Is stereo viewing safe for my eyes? +
Yes! Stereo viewing is completely safe. Your eyes naturally do this when looking at the real world. If you feel eye strain, simply take a break. Start with short sessions and gradually increase the time.
Why can't I see the 3D effect? +
It takes practice! Try adjusting the gap between images using our slider. Make sure you're at a comfortable distance from the screen. Some people find it easier to start with the parallel method first.
Which method should I learn first? +
Most people find cross-eye viewing easier to learn. It works well on any screen size. Parallel viewing is sometimes preferred for larger images or when using a stereoscope.
Do I need special equipment? +
No! The techniques we teach work with just your eyes and any screen. Optional accessories like stereoscopes can enhance the experience, but they're not required.
