Re: Looking for a 3D viewer to view 3D images

I am always searching for different ways to view 3D images. I want a method which is portable and I can show to friends and family. Putting things on the head or looking through special glasses is usually resisted by other people. There was a similar question on this recently. I will repeat some of my answer here

A suitable viewer which I used for some time is a hand held viewer and a smart phone ( Sony Xperia Z5 premium with 4K display ) On the smartphone I would load on to the SD card inside the phone, side by side parallel images and movie clips which I created from stereo photos/clips. The Viewer is held about 4 inches from the screen on the smart phone. I found this gave very good results.

Here is a suitable side by side parallel image, made by myself, for this type of viewing ( the image is not squashed )

Other smart phones could be used if they have a fairly high resolution on the display.

The Sony Xperia Z5 premium can be bought now for just over £110 unlocked ( used ).
