Why do we humans see three dimensions with two eyes but only two dimensions with one eye? How can the illusion of 3 dimensions be created in only two dimensions? This course begins with the early 1838 work done by Charles Wheatstone and ends with the modern single-image stereogram. The course also includes a short history of a toy most of us had as children: a View Master.
