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.
