Aside from being a showcase of the camera and its capabilities, Camera Lucida is the result of combining vintage hardware and modern technology. When the camera was released in the late 80s, one could only view the images in 3D by using a stereoscope, a small viewer that placed one image over each eye, giving the illusion of 3 dimensions. But by using modern editing software, we are able to layer the raw film images on top of each other and create a video file that bounces from left to right, creating a similar effect. The individual images have been placed in a sequence for a more seamless and immersive experience.
