The earliest type of stereoscope was invented by Sir Charles Wheatstone in 1838.[1][2][3] It used a pair of mirrors at 45 degree angles to the user's eyes, each reflecting a picture located off to the side.
This Victorian innovation basically allowed people to get a 3D perception of a location by looking at two pictures using a lens. As the current Internet is experimenting with ways to bring virtual reality to people, I thought it would be fun to take a few stereoscopes of the property for your fun and enjoyment. You merely look at these pics through a special lens which could be on your $1,500 Google Eyewear or simply using one of these $5 models.
And voila! You are experiencing "virtual reality" right here on this DIY website! I'm sure real estate companies will be employing this technology which would allow buyers to tour a house in 3D. But you know those chaps tend to be a little behind the times.
Otherwise, Enjoy! Please, don't go blind!
