Crossviewing question

[P3D Dr. George A. Themelis <DrT-3d@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone!

They finally caught me and are making me work hard at work...
So I don't have much time for chatting in photo-3d... 
(:-) for some people, :-( for others...) :-)

Emil Volcheck is asking:

>Are there good cross-view devices for pictures with about 5-1/2"
>separation from left border to left border?

There is a miraculous device, called "Freeviewer's Assistant".
I reviewed this a couple of months ago in photo-3d.  Here is a brief 
abstract from my original posting:

>What does this thing do?  How does it work?  Simply stated, 
>it shifts the view (changes convergence) of one eye.  You place 
>it in front of your right eye.  The left eye looks directly at the

>Result: 3D!!!

To cross view with this device, just place it in front of your
left eye.  It is that simple!  

>The "Freeviewer's Assistant" makes "Freeviewing" a breeze because 
>it restores the link between accommodation and convergence.  By

Same is true for cross viewing.  I can shift my gaze from the
computer screen to the mouse while I scroll screens and not
lose my crossviewing.
