Submissions for the May photography project, 3D For Everyone, are starting to come in, and they’re looking great! After a suggestion from a reader, I have decided to offer both cross-eye (as described in How to See 3D Photos) and parallel view versions of the submitted entries. To view the entry with your preferred method, simply click the links below the image. The “X” links to the cross-eye view, and the “U” links to the parallel view.
Voting
Submissions are closed and voting has begun for the public choice winner. Please choose our favourite of the 3D photos below. Please only vote if you can see the 3D effect of these images so that you can judge them as stereophotos, and not just ordinary photos.
The voting will continue for the rest of the month, and will finish at midnight on May 31st AEST – check here for the time in your zone.
You can view all the submissions below, and vote via the form below them. (Note: Due to a clerical error, there is no entry #15)

Prizes
Every person who submits an entry in this project will receive a FREE Pixi 3D viewer* and the overall winner, as decided by the judges will win a Loreo 3D lens-in-a-cap for their digital SLR camera** valued at approximately $100USD (pictured right). Free shipping is provided for the viewers and 3D lens. These prizes are provided thanks to the generosity of Loreo.I will be sending the postal addresses of the entrants to Loreo a few at a time, so that I don’t spam their email. Once Loreo have received your details, they will soon ship to you your Pixi 3D viewer. The viewer will be shipped fromLoreo’s head offices in Hong Kong, and they tell me that typical shipping time is 2-3 weeks. Depending on how busy Loreo are, where you are located, and any other conditions, it may take some time for your viewer to arrive. Your patience is appreciated.

[…] PROJECT: 3D For Everyone – Submissions Neil Creek Really great looking results so far on Neil’s 3D project. There’s still time left to participate — May 24th is the deadline. […]

That’s great! I’m totally hooked. I got it figured out and my eyes do the 3D thing pretty easily now. FUN!
Adam
I’m sorry, but does anyone else find the convergence on most of these images too great to be able to comfortably view them? I’m even using a high resolution setting on my graphics card to ensure the images appear fairly small in relative size, but some take up the whole monitor space and there’s no way I can get proper convergence for seeing them in 3D… Is there any resize or max size option available in the slideshow code to limit the dimensions for easier viewing? Many thanks…
ZinY
I also find difficult to converge when the size of stereo pair is big. So, I submitted a small size one. Later on, I found out that, in my Internet Explorer 7, I can zoom out using the button at the lower right corner.
Now, I just only wanted to see if anyone else can see mine in 3D. i.e. count>0. ;)

@carol browne: Congratulations, they’re a lot of fun aren’t they?
@Adam & @ZinY: When I sit at arms length from my screen (about 75cm), and converge the widest of the images (max 900px wide), my eyes converge at a point at about 23cm from my eyes. This feels quite comfortable to me. May I ask what distance you were seated from your screens? If you are feeling that you need to converge too much, then perhaps sit back a bit further and see if that is more comfortable. I’m planning to update my “How to view” post with some tools that you might find useful, including some Firefox extension which can shrink or enlarge images, and one that will let you view an crossview image as parallel and vice versa.
ZinY
My usual distance is about 45cm. That could be the reason why.
I will try to stay away from the screen.
I appreciate your effort to get people see things in 3D.
Thanks, Neil!

I felt that #10 was exceptionally good because of the beams of light! Very well done!
Craig
I have had quite a few freinds say they came to the site it shows results but does not allow them to vote.
Neil Creek
To the last few commenters, it seems likely that you arrived here after the close of the poll. That means that you unfortunately missed the opportunity to cast your vote. I’ll be posting the results soon (the judges have been very busy!).
Sorry you missed out on this project, but I’ll be announcing the June project soon, so you’ll be able to participate and later vote on that one!

Hello there, oh, i just miss this contest :(
Mr.Admin, where i can get that PIXI 3D Viewer? Also that Loreo 3D Lens, is it available in Malaysia?
