Wide Stereo
Read full descriptionHide full description
This application lets you see the world in a way you never experienced before! By combining video from two nearby iPhones or iPads, the stereo base is increased by the factor of 10, 100 or even 1000, increasing your effective stereoscopic range by the same factor. This means that we can perceive depth when looking at very distant objects, like clouds or mountains. If your friend with the other iPhone is not around, you can still make stereoscopic photos the old way, by taking photos from 2 locations or by using the unique "Timeshift" mode where the second view is created continuously from your past camera images. Stereoscopic photos, also those coming from other apps or devices (like Fuji Finepix Real 3D or Nintendo 3DS) can be displayed as anaglyphs (red/cyan glasses required) or in the VR-goggles mode (where you put your phone in the box with lenses). Stereoscopic photos created in this app are recognised as 3D by some 3D-enabled tv sets, like Sony Bravia. File format is MPO - "Multiple Picture Object")

SEE YOUR WORLD IN DEPTH StereoPix turns your iPhone into a stereoscopic 3D camera. Take two photos of the same scene, and StereoPix pairs them into a side-by-side stereo image you can free-view, share, or narrate over in a recorded video. StereoPix lets you zoom in close to the smallest details. The fuzz on a bee, the curl of a petal, the tiny textures that flat photos miss all pop with real depth. No extra hardware, no glasses, no gimmicks. Just real 3D from the camera already in your pocket. HOW IT WORKS Take your first photo. Shift the camera slightly and line up your second shot using the ghost overlay. Your first photo floats over the live camera view so you can match the framing perfectly. Adjust the overlay opacity with a slider until alignment feels effortless. View your pair instantly in the side-by-side stereo viewer. A SMARTER STEREO VIEWER Linked zoom and pan. Pinch or drag on either side and both images move together in perfect sync, so the 3D effect never breaks. Swap left and right with one tap for cross-view or parallel free-viewing, whichever works for your eyes. Fine-tune alignment after the shot. Adjust your pair right in the viewer until the depth locks in, no need to reshoot. Works with portrait and landscape pairs. RECORD AND SHARE Export your stereo pair as a single side-by-side image, ready to share anywhere. Export a wigglegram, an animated wobble between your two shots that shows off the 3D effect on any screen. No free-viewing skills needed, perfect for social. Record a video of your pair with live narration. Zoom, pan, and talk through your shot while StereoPix captures it all, then saves straight to your Photos library. YOUR STEREO LIBRARY Every pair you capture is saved to your in-app library. Browse your collection, reopen any pair in the viewer, and keep building your 3D archive. WHY STEREO PHOTOGRAPHY Stereo photography is over 150 years old, and it still feels like magic. Two slightly different views of the same scene, one for each eye, and your brain does the rest. StereoPix makes the classic technique effortless with modern tools like the ghost overlay and linked viewing, so anyone can shoot convincing 3D on the first try. Great for: Macro shots of insects and flowers, where zooming reveals incredible depth Travel and landscapes with dramatic depth Product shots and collectibles Family moments you want to remember in three dimensions No account. No subscription. No ads. Just point, shoot twice, and see your photos come alive.
