While 3D movies seem to be all the rage these days, there is a lo-fi way to create your own 3D effects at home, and you don’t even need 3D glasses. Using two nearly identical photographs, these images look 3D when viewed through a stereoscope, or nowadays, by creating animated GIFs via Photoshop’s animation function. This technique was originally developed by the Japanese photographer T.Enami around the turn of the 20th century.
In this post, we’ve included some of T.Enami’s still images so you can tweak them in Photoshop to recreate the same animated 3D effect. Or, if you have a double lens camera (example shared below), try to create your own.

The principle that allows this type of effect is the same as the double lens camera seen below. You can also bind two cameras together to make a DIY 3D camera.
