Tell me, how does 3D work?
Nothing much surprises the younger generation, who wouldn’t conceive of seeing the latest film in anything but 3D. But do they know when and where 3D stereo was born, how it works and all the technical complexity. That’s what Michel Patrick Lauret, stereographer, has explained to a class of students coming from Les Ponts de Cé. They have even left the place with a W3 camera from FujiFilm to test and take 3D stereo pictures and movies in their school.
