Stereoscopic Motion Pictures

C. Francis Jenkins

Stereoscopic motion pictures, that is, motion pictures projected in such manner that the optence sees them in true simulation of all the wonderful depth, perspective and solidity of the real scene itself, has been the problem of photographers since Daguerre made his first twin “tintypes.” Its practical solution has engaged the attention of the most brilliant minds, but remains unattained. By practical method I mean commercially useful, or profitable perhaps I should say. And this probably means stereoscopic vision without eye aids. It seems to be a much more difficult task than motion pictures in natural color.
