Introduction to Autostereoscopic Photography

Autostereoscopic Photography is the creation of three dimensional pictures that can be viewed without special glasses. This is an tutorial for photographers in the basic techniques of autostereoscopic photography and lenticular imaging.

An autostereoscopic image merges a sequence of photos of a subject taken from different positions. The printed image has a lenticular screen in front of the print to display pairs of photos to respectively the left and right eye of the viewer, creating an illusion of depth.

We guarantee that you will create a successful autostereoscopic mage! If there are any problems with your photos, we will get back to you with suggestions and adjustments for a reshoot.
