Mars Jiggyvision and QTVRs: silly goggles optional

Daniel Root says, “NASA JPL has released stereo views of the red planet- in B&W- from one (actually two) of the on-board cameras. I combined them in a quick animation that gives somewhat of a feel for the 3d effect. (Not my own idea, but I can’t find the site where I first saw it…) It’s the next best thing to standing on Mars and getting a headache! You can see more stereo sets here.”

(Thanks, Kevin Kelly, and Hal!)

And Nick says, “NASA’s Explorer has sent back its first low res pictures, which NASA have stitched together into several panoramic pictures. They haven’t (so far, as far as I can see) gone the whole way and released them as QTVRs – so I did the job for them, here.”
