The effect we call “3D” is a result of our depth perception. Because our eyes are spaced two to three inches apart, they see images from slightly different angles. The brain then merges those two images to make one three-dimensional image. The disparity between the two images helps us figure out how far away an object is.

In this hands-on tutorial, you’ll hack two cheap disposable cameras into one 3D camera.
