Stereoscopy is a technique for creating or enhancing the illusion of depth in an image by means of stereopsis for binocular vision. The word stereoscopy derives from Greek στερεός (stereos) 'firm, solid', and σκοπέω (skopeō) 'to look, to see'. Any stereoscopic image is called a stereogram. Originally, stereogram referred to a pair of stereo images which could be viewed using a stereoscope.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book, as with most stereoscopic methods, presents two offset images separately to the left and right eye of the viewer. These two-dimensional images are then combined in the brain to give the perception of 3D depth. This technique is distinguished from 3D displays that display an image in three full dimensions, allowing the observer to increase information about the 3-dimensional objects being displayed by head and eye movements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book is complete with \u003cstrong\u003eall 100 pictures\u003c\/strong\u003e and the \u003cstrong\u003estereogram viewing glasses\u003c\/strong\u003e, as well as the very hard to find \u003cstrong\u003eoriginal dust cover\u003c\/strong\u003e! There are 80-pages in total in this 8 x 11-1\/2 inch hardcover book published in Munich in 1940.

The 100 numbered stereo photos each measure 2-3\/8 x 5 inches and have a full description of the subject printed on the back. When seen in the Raumbild-Verlag viewer, each picture appears as “3D”. Among the 100 three-dimensional views are photos of the Waffen-SS, Police, Wehrmacht dog handlers, carrier pigeon troops, assault boat teams, heavy flak batteries, field guns, Panzer troops, anti-tank units, bridge builders and engineers and many more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall condition is very good, with some wear to the stereograms, as well as some tearing and wear to the dust cover. The optics on the viewer are relatively good, though they could use a thorough cleaning. Comes more than ready for viewing and display!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Original Items","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45138913755205,"sku":"ONSV26PCS212","price":395.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1524\/1342\/files\/ONSV26PCS212__01.jpg?v=1781190457","url":"https:\/\/www.ima-usa.com\/products\/original-german-wwii-stereoscopic-fall-of-france-der-kampf-im-westen-photo-book-complete-with-viewer-100-stereograms-and-dust-cover","provider":"International Military Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
