Maybe you should try prints?  Ha, ha, ha!  Just kidding!

I think the crucial step is to hand your stereo camera
and ask the victim to take their own pictures.  This 
could be sufficient to get them hooked.  I see you are
using a twin SLR.  I think a compact stereo camera,
like a Stereo Realist (NO, I AM NOT KIDDDING!!!) is
better.

I have done it to a dozen people and have converted
half of them.
