Stereo pairs of VR: An experiment

Nice pictures, I got the 3D images working well, the cockpit depth is striking.

This set of pictures does not work with crossed eyes, the distant cockpit parts appear nearer.

Parallel infinity stare works properly. Try a reduced page size (vertically in a tablet) and stare into space with the eyes relaxed, slowly let a central image form and very slowly focus on the page. Once the eye is trained a larger image can be viewed. The parallel method is a bit easier than crossed eyes but the image is limited in size, the eyes cannot diverge so the maximum image size is the actual eye separation distance which is typically 65 to 70 millimetres.

If the images are reversed then crossed eye viewing is possible and images bigger than 70 mm can be used comfortably once the technique is mastered. There is advice online.

It is a shame that red/cyan glasses cannot be used in Aerofly, they give dead cheap colour 3D single image viewing if the residual interference is accepted. IPACS said that it is something to do with Open Gl.

Could you post repeats with equal areas of the cockpit shown in each image of the pair? These are really interesting. Thanks.

Parallel viewing works when viewing YouTube 3D videos intended for use with the excellent Google Cardboard device. The videos have image pairs, left on the left and right on the right.

The google cardboard accepts a mobile phone and has eye lenses for viewing against the face.

The 737-200(!) style jump seat image is stunning. Wonderful depth.

The HUD is depicted at perfect infinity, just right for peeping for approach lights on a murky evening!

Are the non perfect overlap alignments 'from' Aero or from the viewing device?, there is a lot of wasted non overlapping display on the left in the left image and on the right in the right image so that only the very centre is in 3D.

That all makes sense. In a viewer the left eye cannot see a lot of the right side because of one's nose!

If you will forgive me I switched your 1st HUD image to suit crossed eye viewing. With reading glasses a very large image can be viewed.

You have to cross your eyes so that the left eye looks at the right image. To get the eyes crossed hold a finger tip in front and slowly draw it towards your nose while focusing on the finger tip. At some point the background images will have crossed and have become aligned. Focus can be slowly transferred to the image. The advantage is that images larger than the eye separation distance can be used. With parallel viewing the maximum width is 65-70 mm depending on one's head size.

Start with really small images. The original pics here should not be wider than 65-70mm or 2 1/2-2 4/5 inches. Crossed eye viewing can take bigger.
