Starting with StereoData Maker - Steve Hughes

StereoData Maker is a program that allows two rather inexpensive Canon cameras to be synchronized for taking digital stereo pictures. The cost of the hardware can be as small as a few dollars, as it only requires a switch, a battery and a pair of USB cables. Although the software is free, it is very powerful, giving many adjustments for the camera functions that are not normally available.
In this workshop, Steve Hughes gives an overview of how SDM came to be, how it works, and how to get both the program and the necessary hardware (you can build it or buy it - both at low cost). Examples of various SDM twin camera rigs are shown, and questions from the audience are answered.
This workshop was given at the NSA (National Stereoscopic Association) convention in Grand Rapids, Michigan on July 10th, 2008.
