3D Photography - Can new tech make it more accessible?

In specialized video editing programs (Adobe Premiere, for example) you can make any combination of sound, music and subtitles you want. The result is complex slideshow in a video clip format, that is best made at a high resolution and should be compressed as little as possible.

Anaglyphs deteriorate as the level of image compression increases.

4K video clips run well on most modern phones.

As per 3D Gunner's suggestion about trying video, I did!  I took 10 of the stereo cards I have of old Saint Augustine, FL and put them into iMovie. I also used Photoshop to crop all the slides to the photos were all the same size, 1920x1080 which is Standard HD format.  This way all the images would all be the same size horizontally. I found a place on the internet where I could get copyright free music and made a presentation that lasts one minute.

This is just a test to see how well it works and to get an idea of how big a video file it would be. This one minute presentation is 126.9MB. I uploaded the video test to YouTupe and then downloaded it to my iPad and iPhone. It works on both but it is best to use the iPad vertically or the images get too wide to see in the viewer.  This test really shows just how soft many of the old stereo pairs were. 4K wouldn't help at all, but with modern equipment and higher quality, 4k would look great.

I think this is getting closer to where technology can make 3D viewing easier, but most people will still need a viewer, unless it can be built into a phone case or the bigger tablet cover (so a viewer is always right at hand).   Well, that's what I have come up with so far!
