Stereoscopic Images - Maitlands Mesa

Ive just been playing with Stereoscan to see how well agisoft products works at creating 3d models. Stereoscan can make suprisingly awesome 3d models using only 2 photos, but what it is really for is creating traditional stereoscopic images. Below is a stereo pair of 2 photos taken with our fishing pole PAP setup at Maitlands Mesa, Jordan.

Stereoscopic images are made by taking 2 photos of an object from slightly different angles, approximating the different perspectives that your two eyes give you naturally. If you focus on the two images correctly, you can view the original scene or object in 3D. Here is a link to some more in depth directions for how to view these.

This is structure MTSS11, which we excavated extensively, but these photos were taken before excavations began:
