Subject: Stereo photography list & ftp site
Date: 14 May 1995 20:58:05 GMT

There is a large (600 person) mailing list for stereo photographers 
located on a machine at East Texas State University.  Anyone who is 
a stereo photographer or who is interested in stereo photography is 
most welcome.  We also have an anonymous ftp site for stereo.  You 
may wish to look in there at past digests to see if this stereo list 
will interest you.
 
To subscribe, send mail to:
listserv@bobcat.etsu.edu
And put in the body of the message:
subscribe photo-3d <your name>
 
After you've been added to the list, you'll get more information about 
the list such as how to get a daily digest rather than immediate delivery 
and how to unsubscribe from the list.  (Both are done by sending commands 
to listserv@bobcat.etsu.edu.)  So _please_ save that info message.  8-)
 
The address to post to is photo-3d@bobcat.etsu.edu but that address will 
bounce your posts until you are actually on the subscriber list.
 
Here is some basic info on the list, a sort of charter:
 
The e-mail mailing list named "photo-3d" has been established for the 
purposes of discussing 3D photography and closely allied subjects.  In 
this list, 3D is defined as the presentation of separate and different 
images to the left and right eyes.  This definition is not intended to 
exclude lenticular presentations or the Pulfrich effect or "wallpaper" 
stereograms.  However, it is intended to exclude discussions of, for 
instance, perspective drawing and "ray tracing" (often called 3D by people 
in other fields) and is also intended to limit the discussion of 
holography to headlines only, inasmuch as holography is a radically 
different technique.  Unfortunately, this is not the place to post 3D 
computer images; many subscribers cannot afford to receive messages that 
large.  We have available a number of FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) in 
our ftp directory.  Also in the ftp site are a number of stereo image 
files.  The ftp site is at bobcat.etsu.edu under pub/photo/photo-3d.
 
Discussions of the following (in no particular order) are encouraged.
 
Topics:
3D art 
3D equipment and products, both commercial and home-brew
3D personal experiences
3D techniques
3D theory
 
Media:
3D photographic stills and movies
3D television
3D computer graphics
