The Mathematica Programmer

Single-Image Stereograms

Volume 5, Issue 1
Winter 1995

It has been known for over 20 years that single images can be constructed that allow true 3D viewing. The technique of the sinlge-image stereogram has gained much attention in the last few years, due to the amazing success of a series of books with such images. The basic construction of stereograms is simple and can be easily be programmed in Mathematica. Alternatively, graphics objects can be written out in a form suitable as input for external stereogram generators.
