Using Viewmagic Viewer 
Using Your 3-D Viewer '" 3-D Viewer is very simple. You may hold
your viewer with your Viewer right hand, left hand or both hands. Use a secure
but gentle grip on the viewer. A powerful grip can adversely affect the 3-D
view. The viewer is symmetrical and will work equally / well upside down
(rotated 180"). Hold the viewer close to your face (around 2 inches) so you
are looking through the eye holes.
Viewing a 3D Photo as a print or on and Ipad or computer Screen
Look around the room through your viewer. Viewing a 3-D Distant objects
further than about 15 feet will Photograph look normal, but closer objects will
appear doubled -
one
image above the other.
Now hold the viewer 8-10 inches from the 3-D picture or tablet. Line the
viewer up to the image - centered left to right and top to bottom. Look through
the viewer at the 3-D image. If you close your left eye, you should see the top
image. If you close your right eye, you should see the bottom image. With both
eyes open you should see one image in 3-D.
Adjust the viewer relationship to the book, screen or tablet (left/ right,
up/down and slight rotation) until you see the picture as described with each
eye - then with both eyes open. Once you have achieved this, you are holding the
viewer correctly in relation to your eyes and the photographs.
Hint #1: You can
use this trick of opening and closing each eye to check your alignment to 3-D
photographs whenever you start to use the viewer. If you can not close just one
eye, cover the bottom viewer openings with your hand - one at a time. You
must keep both eyes open to see in 3D. Now, if you hold the viewer at arm's
length from the image, you will see three images. The faint top image is the
right eye view. The faint bottom image is the left eye view. The clear center
image is the combined view. The center image is the only one which will give a
3D view of your stereographs. Do not worry if you do not see all three images.
The
combined image is
the only one that you need to see.
Hint #2: Here's another technique you can use when you first start to
use the viewer. Start with the photographs back far enough that you can see all
three images. Now bring the center 3-D image closer to the viewer until it is
the only image you can see.
Hint #3: The first time you use the viewer, give yourself a minute or
so to let your eyes adjust to seeing the image in 3-D. After that, the images
should jump into 3-D instantly whenever you use it.
Do not worry if you feel a little tension or strain in the eyes at first.
This is a temporary condition caused by exercising your eye muscles a little
differently. Make sure you are holding the viewer in correct relation to the
picture. The feeling should go away after several short viewing sessions. Go
ahead now and try your viewer out on some more of the sample stereographs. These
images will give you the feeling for the depth effect you can achieve. However,
the quality of these printed images is nothing compared to what you will see
with your own color photographic prints.
