Programming Project 1: Creating 3D Images

For this project, I began by taking a pair of pictures of the top of the quad, here at K. These images project the right- and left-eye perspective of the top of the quad.

The goal of this is to create a 3-dimensional images, by using 3D-glasses like this kid is wearing. (Who looks eerily like a much younger version of me.)

By combining the red values of the left-eyed perspective, and the blue & green values from the right-eyed perspective, of the same picture, somebody wearing these glasses would get a 3-dimensional view of that picture.



These are the left- and right-eyed perspectives of the same scene. I combined them into one picture (of the same height/width as the originals), using the red values from the left picture, and the blue & green values of the left picture, and got the result below. If you have 3D glasses, the result is what I would have liked.
