The Unique History of Stereoscopic Photography:

The art and science of photography hit a lot of milestones in a short amount of time. What we call Stereoscopic Photography was just another step in photography's evolving technology in the transition from paintings to photos.

Stereoscopic Photography applies depth to an image by using the concept of binocular vision. Binocular vision refers to how the brain links two separate images when each is viewed with a different eye. It makes the image look like it has depth.

Looking back, this concept was pretty cool when technology was still in its infancy. It means viewing the same image using the right eye depiction and the left eye depiction.
