[photo-3d] Symposium report and Goshen, NY, 3D events

[sstiles@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

The Harness Racing Museum and Hall of Fame, 240 Main Street, Goshen, 
New York , offers  an ongoing 3D simulation of a ride in a horse 
race.    The show utilizes polarized video projection. For 
information, call 1-845-294-6330.

A second stereoscopic attraction, only during the month of May, is 
found a few blocks away on the other side of Main Street.  At the 
request of the County Historian, an exhibit showing many aspects of 
the development of stereo imagery will be on display daily from 10 
a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Historic 1841 Court House, until May 30, 2001.  

Intended to set the context for last Saturday's symposium on 
stereoscopes, the exhibit was prepared early in April by Stiles 
Studio. 

The symposium viewed "Stereoscopic Saratoga Springs," the Modern 
Magic Lantern (Brackett Faders) 3D slide show that will again be 
presented at NSA '01 in Buffalo. 

Following the slide show, there was a sharing of antique stereo 
cards.  Most of the fourteen attendees brought selected views from 
their own collections of stereo cards.  Many of the cards were rare 
views of the region.  Keystone View Company's "Tour of the World" 
cards were also placed on view.    This symposium was more like a 
family stereoscope viewing session than a formally structured 
presentation.  

As often happens, this event opened the door to future opportunities 
to promote new and renewed interest in stereoviewing.  A tentative 
invitation was extended to conduct a stereoscope viewing session at 
another local historical society.
