Create 3D images, explore stereoscopy and discover techniques that add depth. Online tools, knowledge and a specialist shop — all in one place.
You do not need a camera with two lenses to create a true stereo pair. All you need is a smartphone, a static scene, and two photos taken after shifting the phone slightly sideways.

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.
