So heres the idea, using similar technology to create 3D movies I intend to build a very simple 3D camera. This will allow us to have depth to our evidence review, allowing us to potentially get more of a perspective in what we see.

Currently in the idea stage this is something I intend to build in the next couple of weeks, the idea its self came to me after seeing a product for sale in the "Sky Mall" magazine during a recent flight home.

By offsetting two cameras and feeding both images into one location then using the 3D glasses used to view 3D movies you SHOULD achieve the same or similar effect. As to its effectiveness I dont know but its something Ill be looking into and testing very soon.

This was developed in the Victorian era. But, new technology, new applications. And you know what they say, everything old is new again!

Just like fashion right?

Like most things we now use in the paranoraml field, we are taking an application/tool used for something completely different and modifying or adapting it for our own needs...

Thanks for the input PJay

This site has everything you could want for 3d photos

Thanks Joe thats awesome, after looking at what the site had to offer Im pretty convinced that my concept of how to make these is pretty accurate.

Thanks again

OK so after a few different prototypes and not getting the result I was after I decided to go a different avenue and rather than manipulate the camera its self I decided that I wanted to attempt to build a 3D Anaglyph Camera Attachment instead.

And so searching the web and researching other methods I came across the idea of using a slide viewer, the particular one I have purchase is a Pana-View Bi-Lens Slide Viewer found on eBay for around $15



All I did was:
1. cut the viewer in half, a little behind the slot for the slide.
2. cover the eye holes with the red and blue colored filters.



Now all that's left is for me to place my camera where the slide goes and take a photo.

Sounds simple, well.....

In theory it is, the idea is simply reversing the original intention of the device, but I am still finding that this isnt working 100% for me. It would seem that the 'ghosting' of the red and blue is a little too far apart, its alright for distant shots but close ups are pretty much a no go.

In addition because of the small eye holes, this requires a LOT of light therefor not so great for the purpose of ghost hunting nor will it work in night vision as the IR will drown out colour giving just a blurred image.

So I'm now going to try using this with still photography and using a flash for the time being. Here's a couple of photos Ive taken using the device so far:





It has been suggested that I might want to try using a wide angle lens on my camera to try and decrease the distance of the blue and red filter, as well Im wondering if it may be because i used a Pana-View device and so Im going to purchase another viewer and use the parts to build a larger version allowing for more light to get in and hopefully allowing for better photos.
