Suitable for Science classes.

Year 5 to Year 12

Zogroscope

This program begins with a presentation, consisting of
  • 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 they will make a workingmodel of an 1850s Brewster Stereoscope (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.
