Mars In 3D

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the next-lets-blow-bubbles dept.

xaositects writes "Now I know all of you have your 3D glasses from 1985 still, so don them once again to check out these cool 3D images of Mars's Arctic landscape from the Phoenix Lander's stereoscopic imager. There are also a few close-ups of the parts of Phoenix that are in view and a link to more pictures on the Phoenix Image Gallery."

      ...and true. I spent a whole minute looking at four images (happened to have a pair of R/B 3d glasses at work, amazingly) and another 4 minutes for my eyes to start working properly again.

      Just spin a coloured transparent disk - half-red, half-blue - in front of your eye reaaaaally fast while looking at the pictures, and your brain will probably get the idea after a few minutes*.

    Go into any good supermarket and you can pick up a full 3D model of Mars for pennies. Screw the 3D glasses, you can feel the ridges on it yourself, even dig to find if there really IS water beneath the surface.
    So far, all I've found is Nougat and Caramel, though...

    For instance, they could provide an animated gif of both images alternating, which gives you a 3D impression as if you're moving your head to the left and right. This doesn't require glasses and can be a pretty effective way to get an image to "pop out" without actually being stereoscopic.
