Comment on Finding a private self hosted Google Photos alternative that doesn’t profit from my photos
altphoto@lemmy.today 2 weeks ago
I started using photoprism. But their viewer doesn’t show my 3D side by side stereo photos. Immich brings a better viewer that gets out of the way and it also has multiple users. The immich multiple user accounts function a bit weird. My family photos need to be shared as external libraries while our phone photos cannot be shared unless you share accounts. They did some decisions around handling multiple users that is not fabulous. I used photoprism for awhile but just a few months on immich I can tell its going to be a better experience.

How do you take stereo photos?
altphoto@lemmy.today 2 weeks ago
I 3D printed a special lens to do that. It basically holds 4 mirrors to catch two images on the same sensor slightly apart ~2.75" apart or so.

Sounds cool! I love 3D. Is there a guide online at all?

There isn’t an online specific place for 3D printing optic assemblies but there are plenty of places to read about stereo photos. There’s even a software called stereophotomaker that helps you crop and adjust the photos you take.

Do you view them just by crossing your eyes or by some other method?

You can do both cross and parallel:
