Trainovision is a method for creating 3D images with a single, steadily moving camera. I mounted a web-cam on the window of the Caltrain, which runs north/south between San Jose and San Francisco. I recorded movies of the passing landscape.

Two successive frames from this movie can be paired up to form a stereo pair. I wrote Java software to convert my Quicktime footage into 3D movies viewable in anaglyph or stereogram.
