Abstract
A stereoscopic image viewing device which can be used to create the effect of a stereoscopic image from back to back stereoscopically complementary views of an image, is disclosed. Also disclosed is a portable device for providing a stereoscopic image from a card which contains complementary stereoscopic views of an image in a manner whereby the images can be arranged substantially back to back. In addition, a novel card containing two stereoscopically complementary images, is disclosed. This card, when used in combination with the stereoscopic image viewing device, creates the effect of a stereoscopic image.

A card adapted for use in a stereoscope that provides a three-dimensional image from two stereoscopically complementary images which are positioned substantially back to back relative to one another, said card comprising two stereoscopically complementary images each having an orientation, which images can be positioned, with the same orientation, substantially back to back relative to one another for viewing using said stereoscope, each of said images being viewable as a two-dimensional image independently of the complementary image and without employing the stereoscope, and wherein said two-dimensional images are not mirror images of each other.
