Thierry Legault does it again

[gary]

Legault's work has never ceased to impress and this latest set of images
is amazing.

I fall into the group of individuals that have the otherwise useless ability to go
cross-eyed with minimal effort and I am finding the fused image particularly
compelling, more so than when I use red/blue glasses on the anaglyph.
So much so that the stereo pair creates the illusion of a razor sharp image
and rapidly uncrossing the eyes confirms that the individuals images appear
blurrier by comparison. So obviously the brain is doing some pretty fancy
image enhancement and sharpening based on what it expects to see.

I couldn't spot anything on the web site on how he produces the faux stereo
pairs. Curious to know what post processing was done, if any. Or are they simply
two identical images but the brain is taking 3D cues from the fact that they
are in the time domain? When one looks at the images when paused, the 3D
effect is not as apparent as when the images are being played, so is it simply
the brain interpolating what it expects to perceive?

He images at five metres focal length. Dawes Limit ??? It's for wimps.

Good to know it can be done ... by amateurs.

I was trolling around Thierry's site... found an image only Chris (hotspur) could appreciate.

I noticed that too.. very cool.

If I were to try it(this means I have no idea! ) I would try with the left and right eye images being from the same mono video stream, but one eye's view laging behind by one or two frames.
Because of the rotation of the subject, there would be a false parallax produced?
