Single lens stereo has been heavily covered on this list. The why's and
wherefore's, p's and q's, crossed t's, and dotted i's can all be found in
the archives, in my patent #4,761,066, or by e-mailing me directly.

I would like to express surprise at Peter Homer's apparent lack of 3-D snap,
crackle and pop. In my first experience with this process the depth was so
profound that it startled me, and gave me a certain amount of acrophobia! It
must be remembered that the placement of the filters is crucial to good
stereo viewing. Any position other than the optimum will result in a
flattening of the stereo image.
