Re: [photo-3d] Re: Loreo Thoughts



Love this Loreo/beginner discussion. Now we're on to "cha cha". I hate to
see the term "cha cha" used for weight-shift stereo. I prefer "Astronaut
Shuffle", as I believe this was the original term for the method. It was
coined some 30 or 40 years ago, when NASA asked Hasselblad to develop a
stereo Hassy for use on the moon. Hasselblad declined the $100,000 (or
whatever) contract from NASA, so the story goes, telling them that the
astronauts could simply move their body weight from one foot to the other,
moving the camera about three inches in the process...Quentin.
