[photo-3d] LEEP camera / architectural 3d

[boris@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

For all LEEP or MF stereo congnoscenti:

Paul Wing has a LEEP, right?  Anyone else?  I am getting involved in a
project for the (visual, at least) preservation of some architectural
sites.  The LEEP is supposedly nearly a VR type imaging system, super wide
angle and immersive and all that...  But I also recall some talk that the
LEEP does not have good image quality.  (Blast that I missed my chance at
looking at Paul Wing's in Mesa).

Would the LEEP be suitable for architectural imaging?  I am thinking of
interiors - where wide angle is practically a necessity.  Might there be a
LEEP camera and viewer system available for my use anywhere?  Can the LEEP
viewer be reconstructed for permanent or semi-permanent public installation
(such as in a museum) once film is shot?  What is the film format of the
LEEP.

Otherwise I am thinking of just plain old medium format transparencies for
this project - shift/tilt capability would be useful, I think.  Has anyone
shot with shift/tilt in stereo and what pitfalls await me there?  Does 3d
viewing make shift/tilted images look even more strange than they already
do flat?

Installation/display of imagery would be either large format anaglyph
print, StereoJet print, transparency projection, optical transparency
viewers, or a combination of these.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Boris
