Re: [photo-3d] Hyperstereo artists?

["John A. Rupkalvis" <stereoscope@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hyperstereos obviously are not "normal" 3D photography.  And they definitely
could be considered an art form, a fascinating branch of stereoscopic
photography.

Interestingly, one of the widest usages of hyperestereos involves extremely
widebase images that are not made in the interest of art at all (but many
that I have seen certainly look artistic).

These (which very possibly could be the largest single use of stereo
photography of all) are the twin pass aerial images made for aerial mapping.
They have to be in stereo for drawing isolines on topographic maps,
delineating height boundaries.  I understand that the entire United States
has been mapped this way.
