 Welcome to the 3DJournal.com
The story of this server began in a museum. And it began very inconspiciously. It was in the room of optical illusions. Visitors can see there strange pictures in mirrors and 3D pictures. We asked ourselves: Is it possible to transfer this 3D experience to a computer? And were looking for a positive answer. And then, in one moment, we've found blue/red glasses in our old desk.

Make 3D photos with any camera
 Maybe you don't believe it is even possible. But you should. It's possible and it is very easy. It is great to have a professional equipment for making professional 3D pictures, but you will be able to make good 3D photos by an ordinary camera or camcorder. How to do it? We will tell you in this article.
