Stereographics, 3D projection

The following contains information around stereographics, it includes theory and practical installation matters (both hardware and software). Examples from the authors practice can be found in this photographic gallery of stereoscopic installations , mostly (but not entirely) passive (polaroid based) stereoscopic projection systems.

I wanted to persuade myself that these flaws were only apparent flaws, that they were all part of a much vaster regular structure in which every symmetry we thought we observed really corresponded to a network or symmetries so complicated we couldn't comprehend them all. Italo Calvino

To tell us that every species of thing is endowed with an occult specific quality by which it acts and produces manifest effects, is to tell us nothing. But to derive two or three general principles of motion from phenomena, and afterwards to tell us how the properties and actions of all corporeal things follow from these manifest principles would be a very great step. Issac Newton
