On the subject of New York City locations, has anybody seen or looked through the "Optic System" sculpture/viewer at the Helen Hayes Hospital in NYC? Does it effectivly create a hyperstereo image of New York? What is seen when looking through it?
Brief mention of this sculpture by Alfons Schilling is made in the short but excellent book, "Stereogram" ( Seiji Horibuchi, editor; Cadence Books; 1994) Apparently, It consists of two very large mirrors coupled with a pair of smaller mirrors that effectivly increases the interpupilary distance of your average Joe from 70mm to 7 meters. It was installed on top of a hill at the hospital in 1983, and I would like to know if it is still there and in good shape. Thanks!
PS - What's the correct term for this device? Hyperbinoculars?
