3d or stereo photography?

I would like to take and present high quality photos in 3d or stereo view. What is the state of the art as far as methods and equipment goes?

The old View-Master might be a reference, which would present 3D experience with amazing quality, but with digital images I presume there are other approaches.

For taking the pictures, are there any adapters available for interchangable lens cameras (e.g. the Fujifilm X-system) providing for two pictures, shifted sideways and taken in succession?

And what would be the best way for high quality viewing? 3D glasses on my computer screen? Or some of those VR goggles?

For shooting static subjects you can do as you suggested. I don't know of any specialist stereo heads, but you could use a macro focus slider with the camera mounted 'sideways'. I remember doing this back in film days so I could just mount the transparencies into ready-made stereo mounts. I was lucky because the nearest photo shop to my studio was a stereo specialist.

Back then you could still also buy dedicated stereo cameras, shooting with two lenses. There was also an adapter that used a set of 45 deg mirrors to put a stereo pair on a single image but I never found that convincing. Try googling 'stereo photo adapter' for some other ideas.

I can't answer for how you can present your results. Are you planning on individual head sets or some sort of screen or projection system?
