60 minutes presentation and activities
Suitable for Science and Media classes.
Year 5 to Year 12
- an introduction to stereoscopic images,
- activities involving binocular vision,
- demonstration of how to take 3D photographs,
- demonstration of how to make 3D images on a
computer, and
- demonstrations of the ways to view stereoscopic images.
Then the students will make a working model of an 1850s Brewster Stereoscope with a real lens (to keep), and learn how to take a genuine 3D photograph to view in their own Brewster Stereoscope.
This is followed by hands-on activities that involve using many different stereoscopes, and viewing many old and modern 3D images, including some rare and historic viewers.
