P3D Phantograms

["Franklin J. Flocks" <fjf@xxxxxxxxxx>]

       Just received two Phantograms from the Museum of Jurassic
       Technology. Cost was about $8.50 for two 8X10 Anaglyph geometric
       drawings and a pair of red-green glasses. (See their Web site 
       at http://www.mjt.org/shop/shopmisc.htm if you want to get one.) 

       I was very impressed with the effect.  One thing that was 
       interesting was how the effect disappeared if you closed one 
       eye. - Only with both eyes open was it possible to see an 
       image as a rectangle jutting up from the page. With one eye 
       closed, the rectangle appeared as a trapezoid on a flat piece
       of paper.- 

       I tried to scan one of the pictures, to see if I could view 
       it on my monitor, but I had no luck.   - The inks are fairly 
       pastel shades of red and blue-green - and there is very little 
       ghosting when the paper is viewed. - But when I tried to scan 
       it in, the blue-green all but disappeared.   I suspect good  
       color matching is very important with this technique as 
       any significant ghosting would mess up the illusion.

       I am anxiously awaiting my phantogram order from Boris.
