Anybody ever seen any large scale Panoramas in 3D

At one time a photographer on Oahu took wide wide and tall and large surround type images with two medium format camera set. Then viewed with his complex optical viewer that had one hold it really close to the image pair.

My thought was that it was not as compelling as our eyes where we concentrate on the foveal center and move around.

That said, the Realist format was a compromise that enabled simpler camera film advance than say the Verascope. Having two cameras with 16 by 9 I would argue is suitable for 3-D. and flat screen TV if it comes back in force..

Using parallax gives the wow experience to me even as a square. Nothing that a wide screen or an anamorphic lens can reproduce...we can agree to disagree but gently in this forum ;-).

On the other hand, anamorphic lenses have become more refined. So....it is possible to shoot narrow and project WIDE. But then WHY so wide...to duplicate our field of view of course. And someone will find a way for we amateurs to achieve that. I give it five years. With virtual reality in HD with more than the old slides offered. I still love to shoot in portrait mode and never grooved on the default 35mm double normal film width. PS. Actor Gene Kelly said he hated composing shots in Cinemascope. Did not explain. 1: 2.4 was wide...and of course Cinerama gave a depth by doing its own thing. Me, I like stereopsis any shape it comes in. do you?

PS. There was a Japan made souvenir film strip viewer of world exhibition that aimed at wide stereo...kind of cheap simulation , seemed a wide crop in low resolution....challenge to get all parameters great is still hard, eh what?

Meanwhile, back at the ranch........:-D
