The question...How do I present my Stereoviews in a professional
manner at a gallery or museum? The answer...
The Hyper-View Large Format Stereo Print Viewer
This Large
Format Stereo Viewer was designed and manufactured in order to provide the highest quality
stereo image currently available. It does this by eliminating lenses from the system
and allowing the viewer to see a large unobstructed image (up to 12 inches wide
for each image, 22-24 inches
for the pair). This is accomplished by using front surface mirrors. David Lee's goal
in inventing the Hyperview was to provide a reasonably priced viewer which would allow the viewer to
perceive the entire image from the ortho-stereo position, without the distortion and image
degradation inherent in the currently available lensed viewers.
It works great in combination with stereo photo maker software and a 22-24 inch monitor. Please
contact us for a link to the free stereoscopic player software or search for
it.
Unlike other currently
available mirrored stereoscopes this viewer allows an individual to get close enough to a
large image to see the entire image at the same time. The viewer results in the some of
the highest quality stereo imaging available today. It was designed for the
photographic artist who wants to get the most out of his/her carefully crafted prints.
The Large Format Viewer is held in front of the face by grasping the handles on each
side of the viewer. The viewer is black with a pebble finish. The
viewer is 16" wide, 6" high, and 5" deep. Below are some
articles about using the viewer with a film camera but it is much easier to use
with a monitor or a digitally printed pair. The viewer is often used to
view blow ups of stereoviews and has been used at Makersfaire, Yosemite Lodge
and numerous museums. It also makes an excellent monitor
viewer.
