Invitation to the unearthly 3rd Dimension

Dear fellow earthlings,

I invite you to travel with me to the most unearthly corners of my imagination.

Fasten your seat-belts and 3D glasses or simply cross your eyes to fathom the depths of the unimaginable.

Bon voyage!

3D IR

Have you every seen Infrared with your naked eyes?


Here is your chance through the first infrared video in 3D. Enjoy it in HD!

3D Stereo Areal View of Coastal Mexico

Original and Prints at 3D Seascape by =alahay on deviantART

In order to see this in 3D cross your eyes such that the two images overlap in a third central image which will be in 3D having the clouds protruding outside the screen. Let me know if you can or cannot see it.

Areal view of coastal Mexico. I did not invent 3D stereoscopy but my contribution is a rare 3D perspective of coastal mexico that was nontrivial in terms of timing the two frames.

IRgraphy

Last week I thought of a very affordable and elegant technique for painting in 3D space with infrared technology.

You only need the following items:

1. Digital (preferable with liveview) or Film Camera. You must check if your sensor can detect infrared; To do so, just flash any remote control towards the camera and you should see the invisible IR light on the LCD of your camera.
2. Any remote control -- I am sure you have one at home, if not, get any universal one ($5-$25)
3. Any Infrared filter that fits your camera. I recommend the r72 filter that allows IR spectra beyond 720nm. Most remote control IR wavelengths range between 920nm and 960nm. You can find filters online ($20-$75) or you can build your own cheap IR filter with red and blue transparent plastic or glass sheets but I recommend the former for better quality. 

Now, you need to set your camera to manual and set the shutter speed to at least 5 seconds to give you time to paint. Turn the shutter and start painting with your remote control pointing towards the camera lens. I anticipate some examples made using the technique detailed above using a Pentax k-x and a 50mm lens:
