I only use one, i3D Steroid for the iPhone (for Android phones, it’s called 3D Steroid). This is a very nice app and is very cheap, considering the developer, Masuji Suto, updates it for free. Suto-san is always open to suggestions too, a proper genius, and his pictures are also featured in Stereoscopy is Good for You.’ See the app store for your phone: i3DSteroid on the App Store/ 3DSteroid on Google Play. Major new exhibition We are analogue creatures. We’ve gone into this digital world, but there’s always a bit of discomfort about it. You’re looking at approximations to analogue waveforms in sound and also in vision. We have a yearning to hear things from a vinyl record, because there’s something in your head which just loves that smoothness of a real analogue signal. And I’m really here just to say thank you – I can’t do a speech about how to take stereo picture because you all know! I can’t really do a story about how stereography was born because you all know that too right! I can point over there to Sir Charles Wheatstone and I think we should all raise a cheer for Charles Wheatstone – who made all this happen! Returning to image making, Brian strongly believes that exploring stereo photography can benefit more conventional photographers, too. ‘This may sound corny, but taking stereo pictures does open your eyes. You see in a different way, as you need to imagine that you can see depth as well as everything else.

Stereoscopy is Good For You by May | Waterstones

As part of the promotion for Brian’s forthcoming book Stereoscopy Is Good For You: Life in 3-D, a leading London photography gallery shall run a five-month exhibition, showcasing some of the captivating imagery. I worked with my “great accomplice” Denis Pellerin, spending hours and hours editing the images into a format which would be both beautiful and comfortable to look at.’ The instruments were advertised in the Times “at unprecedented low prices”, starting at sixpence, under the heading “No home without a stereoscope”. Cards were given away with magazines and circulated through special libraries.While getting books signed by Brian May, visitors will also have the opportunity to explore the wonders of the exhibition –“Stereoscopy Is Good For You: Life in 3-D”. For the next 5 months, the exhibition will offer visitors the chance to experience 3-D first-hand, using May’s patent OWL viewers, in three areas channeling the new SIGFY book, the Birth of Stereoscopy, and QUEEN in 3-D. May earned a PhD in astrophysics in 2007 and is currently the chancellor of Liverpool John Moores University. Does Brian think that some would-be exponents are put off by the time involved in stereoscopic photography? Or have apps made it much easier?

But I think the book is such an important statement – I mean I wanted to make sure that everyone of you, to begin with, has a copy of the book. If you don’t have a copy of the book, we will sort that okay – but I hope you enjoy your copies.

Stereoscopy turned out to be a “rollercoaster ride with peaks and periods of total oblivion and neglect”, he added. After the Victorians, it enjoyed a revival during the first world war, and again in the 1950s when the young May became enraptured. I want to 3-D: stereoscopic images that come alive in Brian May’s book and exhibition from Andrew Lauren, New York Brian, creator of the 21st-century incarnation of the London Stereoscopic Company (LSC), has become an Internet evangelist for 3-D photography in recent years. Through the LSC, he invited the world to capture uplifting images from the uncertainty of their new reality. As Covid continued to take its toll on the world, the fast growing stereo community kept on snapping away, lifting their spirits through this often neglected, but uniquely powerful photographic medium. Throughout the last two years thousands of powerful images came pouring in, celebrating nature, intriguing insects, people, pets, architecture, indoor recreations, even the sky above…. and a new title was born. A wondrous immersive exhibition celebrating the magic of stereoscopic 3-D photography in the 21st Century – 3rd November 2022 to 25th March 2023 Brian is now 75, but shows little sign of slowing down. He continues to tour with Queen, as well as doing solo work and, of course, is a committed stereoscopy evangelist. So does he personally find stereoscopy is good for him?

BRIAN MAY Full Speech to Contributors “Stereoscopy Is Good For You” 02/11/2022 – side fill – clip by Andrea Botto Then downstairs is Queen in 3-D, encompassing not just being with Queen on and off the road, but my history with 3-D. I can’t wait to see how people react to this. Edited by Brian, the book contains the work of over 100 21st-century stereoscopic photographers from around the world during the COVID years.The book credits Charles Wheatstone as the inventor of the stereoscope. “He was denied his proper place, other people claimed that they had invented it, and some of those falsehoods survived until quite recently,” said May. The book sets the record straight, he added. May, who has a PhD in astrophysics, is in the process of acquiring another set of images that will make his collection of stereos the biggest in the world. He is transferring all of them into the Brian May Archive of Stereoscopy. And there must be something in us which makes us yearn for the old kind of photography. Digital can As well as many images from Europe, Stereoscopy is Good for You features work from farther-flung places. ‘Stereoscopy seems to be popular in Japan, certainly in my sphere of influence, and there are some great photographers with whom I communicate with directly. Another revival came in the 1980s, and in 2009 “we had [the film] Avatar and every TV set you bought was 3D-ready. Where is it now? It’s all disappeared.”

As mentioned at the start of this interview, Brian developed his own viewer for stereoscopy called the Owl. While it works well, he finds it frustrating that phone makers are not building a similar functionality into their phones. Visitors will view the visuals in the splendour of 3-D through the stereoscopic OWL viewer designed by Brian May himself. As part of the promotion for Brian'sforthcoming bookStereoscopyIs Good For You: Life in 3-D, a leadingLondon photography gallery shallruna five monthexhibition,showcasing some of the captivatingimagery.Stereoscopy is Good For You: Life in 3D is the latest book from Brian’s London Stereoscopic Company (LSC). It is a collection of ‘stereo’ pictures taken by people all over the world throughout the pandemic. There are some fantastic images in the book as you can see here (they are best viewed with Brian’s Owl viewer, available here). One vision We all carry them around with us. If phone makers can put three cameras on here (he holds up his iPhone) it would be dead easy for them to put lenses one across the other.’ Working on this project, I learned all over again that the photographs we take say a lot more about US than the subject we capture. Viewing the stereoscopic work of others, we find ourselves completely transported to the place and time when their picture was taken. Visitorswill view the visuals in the splendour of 3-D through the stereoscopic OWL viewerdesigned by Brian Mayhimself.
