Incredible Thinking Man stereoscopic pictures

"Incredible Thinking Man" stereo 3-D pictures

Here you can view some of the 120 slides of the 3-D performance "The Incredible Thinking Man". In the original performance these slides are projected in full-colour stereo and the audience can view them wearing special polarized spectacles. Since this system doesn't work on computers we converted the two slides to one so-called anaglyphic picture.
These pictures should be viewed in at least 256 colours, but preferably in thousands or millions of colours.
Glasses

You can only view these anaglyphic pictures in
stereo with special left/red and right/blue
3-D spectacles.

So get yourself a pair of these 3-D spectacles as soon as possible!

If you can't find them anywhere you could try to get them here.

"The Incredible Thinking Man"

>What you see on the stage:

In the middle there is a projection screen, left of it we see the lecturer, Dr. Alan Mackulan, psychiatrist. On the right we see Mr. Van Egmond, photographic researcher, who tries to translate the lecture in Dutch. (For your convenience, we translated his lines here back to "English")

Mr. Van Egmond,
photographic researcher:

"Not so spectacular yet, but take a look at the next slide."

Dr. Alan Mackulan,
psychiatrist:

"I spent more and more time at the hospital, talking with him. We became good friends around this time. Here you can see him listening to music, something he hadn't done for years. I believe it was something by Vivaldi. He told me it was the happiest summer he had spent in years."

Mr. Van Egmond,
photographic researcher:

"The hallucinations became stronger and stronger and filled the whole room in no-time.
I tried to solve this: longer exposures, higher f-stops, other music, change of focus, etcetera, etcetera."

Dr. Alan Mackulan,
psychiatrist:

"At this stage some of the medical team left me. They couldn't stand the cloud of fear and depression the man was spreading. I was taking anti-depressants myself at the time. Without those I could not work. It was heart-rending to witness these terrible mental and physical cramps."

Mr. Van Egmond,
photographic researcher:

"He became more temperamental and refound his emotions. In his enthusiasm he made for instance this beautiful 'Arc de cercle'."
