System for the display of stereoscopic photographs
First Claim
1. A stereoscopic photography method, comprising:
- providing a camera having a lens for focusing an image and a photosensitive material optically aligned with the lens for capturing the image;
securely coupling an optical attachment to the camera lens, said optical attachment being adapted to cause a stereo pair of images to be focused through the lens onto the photosensitive material;
digitizing the stereo pair of images which are captured on the photosensitive material;
transforming the digitized stereo pair of images into a predefined display format; and
displaying the transformed images on a stereoscopic display system that utilizes the predefined display format.

Abstract
A stereoscopic photography system utilizes digital camera technology to create stereoscopic content. The camera has a photosensitive material optically aligned with a lens for capturing images, a viewfinder screen for viewing the images captured on the photosensitive material, and a zoom control for adjusting the focal length of the lens. An optical attachment is securely coupled to the camera lens in a manner that permits adjustment. The optical attachment causes a stereo pair of images to be focused through the lens onto the photosensitive material The camera is coupled to a processor having a first program for digitizing the stereo pair of images and a second program for transforming the digitized stereo pair of images into a predefined format. The transformed images are displayed on a monitor and observed through either a modulating overlay screen or modulating eyewear.
