Re: [photo-3d] stereoview without viewer or glasses?

Michael;

After the Rochester NSA Connvention a few years ago there
was tour of the Eastman House Museum, and on special
display for the NSA groups was a prototype stereo slide
viewer which sounds similiar to viewer you remember
and are describing below.

I do not recall how it worked. But as you said the screen
was 5 ~ 6" and you needed to be view it from a "sweet
spot" to see the 3-D. It did use realist / kodak stereo slides.
Overall it was about the size of tube type portable TV of the
50's & 60's with the 5 ~ 6" screen size, maybe somewhat
bigger overall.

It was a rear projection device of some sort.

The connvention speaker that year was "Mr Stereo" for Kodak,
but I do not recall his real name and in his very interesting speech
he described it and how it worked, but I do not recall the details.
For some reason it was not practical for Kodak to put it in
production as consumer item.

Perhaps some others who were there that year can help
fill in more details.
