*******   You're right, but to view it correctly, simply parallel view it's
reflection in any mirror. Alternatively it can be flipped in the computer or
make a reprint with the negative flipped. If it were a slide it would be
viewable by freeviewing in a hand held viewer and even projected a short
distance. It's primary utility is for creating relatively easy 3D source
material for computer based image work. (a potentially large area of
application ...) One could set up any digital camera with the mirror
arrangement so that chatting via CUSEEME or it's equivalent could be two way
live 3D using only one camera at each end of the connection.

If you add an extra mirror to the system you can eliminate the mirrored
results. Take that progression far enough and you simply put a
*beamsplitter* mirrored attachment on you're favorite digital computer-cam
and join the 3D Internet conferencing revolution ... if it catches on ...  ; -)

...just think, ...   international conferencing at the cost of a local phone
call, in color, in 3D, in real time, with existing technology ...... which
is increasingly affordable ...... the display mode is essentially device
independent ...... all components available now.

Anyone have an inventory of suitable *beamsplitters*?
