P3D Words, Words, Words

[Bruce Springsteen <bsspringsteen@xxxxxxxxx>]

Who says these lists are prone to incivility?  Why, I can't get flamed
if I dowse myself in gasoline!  First I offer an incorrect
self-correction:

> There is no such thing as cross-pollination.  There is however
> cross-pollenization, if memory serves.  See my last ponderous posting.

And nobody observes that I am a bonehead.  I must be more likeable
than I try to be.  Then I proceed to quiz TWO maillists on
non-equipment-related fluff.  Time is up.  Put down your pencils.

The answers are (in my own words):
Metastereoscopy - Reproduction of original scene in normal proportions
  but in abnormal size.  Like hyper or hypo shots but without
mentioning which one.

Panortho-stereoscopy - The nearly perfect stereogram which is as close
to "reality" as technically possible, and which utilizes non-stereo
depth   cues to full advantage.  People with disposable cameras and
artsy inclinations need not apply.

Parastereo - Looks "ortho", but really has telephoto type distortions.
 You can't see it, but it exists. (!?!)

Stereo calisthenics - looking at stereograms that are designed to give
  you eye muscles like a Greek god.

Infusible stereogram - the left view doesn't know what the right view
is doing.

Mexican stereoscope - Holmes stereoscope.

American stereoscope - Holmes stereoscope.  Go figure.

Stereomatics - The art of telling a story with a series of stereograms.
Reely!

Stereoscopic balance - Relates to pictorial composition in the "Z"    
dimension.  "X" and "Y" are for beginners.

To which I gleefully added quasistereopsis, cryptostereogram,
cyberstereopictorial, and exo- and endo-diplopia. 

Any guesses as to what I think those mean?
