P3D Re: Instant Anaglyph

[aifxtony@xxxxxxxxxxxxx (Tony Alderson)]

I just got an idea about this pinhole instant anaglyph camera. In the LA
Times today, there was an article about a workshop for kid's to make
pinhole cameras out of oatmeal cartons. The resulting photo is
fisheye-like.

Now, this makes me ponder: what if one put the film plane on a flat board
thru the center of the cylinder, and put stereo pinholes on the arc, with
appropriate color filters. Wouldn't that converge the images at the film
plane? Maybe a flattened arc would be a better lensboard than the
semicircle of a stock oatmeat carton. That might allow a wider stereo base.
Could one control the windowing by moving the film plane on the z axis?

Is this as crazy as the other ideas?
