Intro to Stereo Workshop

The Utah Stereo Society will be presenting a workshop at the March 20th meeting of the Wasatch Camera Club. The workshop will highlight various 3D formats and equipment, and will a include demonstration on how to make stereo images using a single digital camera. We'll also have a brief slideshow using polarized projection and a "show and tell" table for Q&A after the workshop. Come see how fun 3D can be -- we hope to see you there!

The Wasatch Camera Club meets at the Columbus Community Center, 2531 S. 400 E., Salt Lake City, Utah. Doors open at 6, meeting starts at 7pm.
