The purpose of this project was to explore methods for adapting images originally created for the analog stereoscope to use in contemporary virtual reality headsets. The Alabama Museum of the Health Sciences holds in its collections a set of medical images for the stereoscope published by Dr. S.I. Rainforth in 1910. We scanned 3 stereoscope cards from the collection at a resolution of 1200 dots per inch, then adapted the images for use in virtual reality using Adobe Photoshop and Unity. We successfully created a working application for the Oculus Go that displays the images stereoscopically in the headset. The current application allows only static display of the images. Our next steps in developing this project will be to add additional images from the collection to the virtual reality application, optimize parameters related to image display, and develop scripting that would allow users to dynamically select images from the collection. More information on this project is available on the Alabama Museum of the Health Sciences Virtual Exhibits website, and a short video demonstration is available on Vimeo.

将过去带到未来：调整立体镜图像以用于 Oculus Go

该项目的目的是探索调整最初为模拟立体镜创建的图像以用于当代虚拟现实耳机的方法。阿拉巴马州健康科学博物馆收藏了 SI Rainforth 博士于 1910 年出版的一组立体镜医学图像。我们以每英寸 1200 点的分辨率扫描了收藏中的 3 张立体镜卡，然后将图像改编为使用 Adob​​e Photoshop 和 Unity 在虚拟现实中使用。我们成功地为 Oculus Go 创建了一个可以在头显中立体显示图像的应用程序。当前应用程序只允许静态显示图像。我们开发该项目的下一步将是将集合中的其他图像添加到虚拟现实应用程序中，优化与图像显示相关的参数，并开发允许用户从集合中动态选择图像的脚本。阿拉巴马州健康科学博物馆虚拟展览网站上提供了有关该项目的更多信息，Vimeo 上提供了一个简短的视频演示。
