Create 3D images, explore stereoscopy and discover techniques that add depth. Online tools, knowledge and a specialist shop — all in one place.
Disney Immersive Cinema by ILM is intended to preserve the film in its original form while extending selected moments into the viewer’s surroundings. It is an interesting hybrid of screen-based cinema and VR that should not be confused with a full 180° or 360° film.

The full-color light-field display described in Nature uses a polarization-switchable metasurface lenticular lens. The demonstration combines 2D and 3D modes, a 100° field of view, and a 1.2 mm-thick optical profile, but it is not yet an announcement of a consumer product.

Practical and technical publications about creating, presenting and viewing three-dimensional images.
Canon is demonstrating a technology designed to create a 3D model from a single photograph and phase-detection information. We explain how this approach differs from classic stereoscopy and what was actually presented at CP+ 2026.

Lenticular printing, commonly referred to today as lenticular, is based on a seemingly simple principle: a sheet containing an array of very fine cylindrical lenses is placed over a specially prepared image. Each lens directs different parts of the image at different angles. As a result, moving the card reveals a second image, animation, color change, or spatial 3D effect—without glasses.

Imagine Moscow at the beginning of 1941. The premiere of Citizen Kane is still several months away. Television is a technological curiosity, color cinema remains a luxury, and the digital computer practically does not exist. A viewer enters a small cinema auditorium, sits down in front of the screen and… is not given any glasses.
