Abstract

Although single-image stereograms were invented in 1979, they were virtually unknown until the 1990’s. The last eight years have seen an explosion in stereogram popularity. Stereograms have become the subject of books, posters, calendars, screen savers, and more. Stereograms are images which have 3D information hidden within them. At first glance, most stereograms looks like nothing more than a jumble of colors and repeated patterns. When properly viewed, however, a stunning 3D image becomes visible. Proper viewing is the trick. Unfortunately, many people have difficulty seeing the 3D images hidden within the stereograms. The aim of this project was to develop ways to assist these stereogramically challenged individuals.
