3D photography is the photographer's attempt to make 2 dimensional photography more natural and informative to the human eye. The theory about 3D photography is that when it is observed the brain will process the information the same as if the real object were being looked at. There is no real difference between digital 3D photography and film 3D photography.
How this type of photography works is that two photos are taken of the same object, one photo is taken from one side and the other photo is taken from another side, showing the subject from different but equal sides. The photos must be taken from the same view level and not too far apart in distance (eye's distance apart) from each other as far as the subject is concerned. The way to get the full benefit from 3D photography is to cross one's eyes while looking at the photos. Then, as the eyes cross, the image on the left is seen by the right eye and the image on the right is seen by the left eye, thereby giving the brain full information about the subject in the photograph.
The photos used for the 3D viewing must be clear and sharp. The image must be the same for both photographs except taken with a small distance between subjects. If the photographer changes the distance bewteen the subject's locations the depth of the 3D image is determined. The order in which the photos are taken is important. It simportant that the left photo end up on the left and the right on the right or inversion happens.
