It won't take off, my sony SLT can take 3D panoramas and that's got to be 3 years old, problem is most perplexing don't have a 3D TV to view them on.

I have a 3D TV, but lack a Sony SLT nuts



I do however have a stereo viewer c.1900 and a collection of stereo photographs for it - and after more than a century it still works perfectly. Must be solar powered or summink... and the plastic is a really good wood effect.

It's not 3D, it's stereoscopic. Can you see behind things when you move your head to one side or the other? Thought not.

Almost everything described as 3D isn't.

Stereoscopic vision allows you to perceive the third dimension (depth). You can't change your viewpoint any more than you can with a normal photograph but they are still legitimately 3D.

There is an overlap (literally). The left eye sees information from behind the object that the right eye can't, and vice versa.
