Abstract
In the field of stereoscopic reproduction in motion pictures there seems to be very little if any hope of development. The obstacles seem insurmountable. Briefly stated, the difficulty lies in the fact that we see things stereoscopically because we have two eyes. Each eye sees a different view, and it is the fusing of these two different views into one view that gives us the effect of depth. Now, in order to get the effect of depth in motion pictures, it is necessary to simultaneously project two different views, one view of which is visible only to the right eye, and the other to the left eye. It is obvious that with the naked eyes, each eye will see both views. There does not seem to be any way to show two views at once and have the eyes receive them selectively if we look without the aid of special apparatus. It has long been known, however, that stereoscopic motion pictures could be shown if each observer was supplied with a viewing instrument which made it possible for the right eye to see the right eye picture, and the left eye the left.
