How to Print a Stereo Photo

Stereographic photography, also known as stereo photography, is the term for the placement of two similar but slightly different photos side by side. When a person views the photos by crossing the eyes, they will view the illusion of a three-dimensional photograph. You can create a stereographic display by printing two similar but slightly different scenes.
