Lynna Deng and team want to help you help the LA River. She developed a tool to use dual phones to capture stereo images. If enough people chip in they hope to capture a 3D record of changes. This detailed view will help river research!

With two phone holders, our system is a “stereo vision” system. Just as our two eyes’ slightly different views allow us to perceive how far objects are from us, this system’s two camera angles allow us to reconstruct the 3D scene of a community member’s photographs using specialized computer software.

This Instructable will take you through how we built our system, but you can easily adapt the attachment methods or change the number of holders to create your unique system!

See the full details and guide!

And the GitHub page with code for lining up all the images.

Most of us first experienced stereo images with the Mattel View Master. Revel in nostalgia with this 3D printed PyPortal View Master from the Ruiz Brothers on Learn.Adafruit
