alt.binaries.picture.stereo

[P3D Gabriel Jacob <jacob@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

As was mentioned a couple of weeks ago there was a new newsgroup being
set up by John A Elson. Don't know if he is a P3D member. I was going
through the newsgroups today and was surpries to see it listed. I had
actually checked the list a couple of weeks ago and missed it! Has
anyone checked out this newsgroup? Any traffic on it. Here is a post
from that group by John A Elson.

There is now a USENET group for Stereo pictures!   It is called:
alt.binaries.pictures.stereo
For those unfamiliar with USENET, these binary file groups are
mainly designed for messages with binary attachments, in this case
picture files, as well as ordinary messages. Various Web browsers
like Netscape, and newsreaders like Free Agent, have the ability to
attach files to messages using various methods, usually through
UUencoding. With many newsreaders and browsers the enocding/decoding
is automatic. With others utilites such as UUD can be used.

Since this is a fairly new group (it started on Jan 17,1997) it may
not appear yet on your server. If this is the case, you might ask
your server's admnistrator about picking it up. I started it up
with a couple of dozen pictures and some stereo related messages
and am hoping others will stop by and contribute.

All stereo formats are welcome including color and BW scans,
Anaglyphic (red/blue) pictures, drawings and stereoscopic computer
graphics. Discussions of such are also welcome. The one thing not
welcome are those rendered computer graphics that are often passed
off as "3d" even though there is nothing 3d about them.

It should be noted, however, that transposed images (with the right
on the left and the left on the right, apparently for painful
"crossyed" viewing) are highly discouraged! Such images should, if
possible, be converted to normal paralell viewing format.

So if you have some stereo pictures to contribute, even if they are
only casual pictures of friends and family, please feel free to
contribute.
