June 22, 2021. PARALLAX-SHIFT’s meetup & Stereo Royal Rescue

The June 22 event was a combination BYO3D meetup with an XLCR3D working group project -the Stereo Royal Rescue! Attendees brought in their vintage Stereo Royal Group viewers to rewire and refit the original lighting element for a modern LED bulb and to troubleshoot and diagnose other common issues. Burn out on the ground glass screens were cleaned with bleach and polarizing filters were temporary replaced in one model after finding them missing.

July 3, 2021. PARALLAX-SHIFT + Penumbra Foundation present the Rare Book Salon

This online event debuted at midnight on July 3, from NYC’s Penumbra Foundation Library and was affectionately nicknamed “bedtime stories for 3D nerds.” A number of titles relating to Stereoscopy were pulled with chapters marked by ilicia benoit and read aloud by Sam Dole to a worldwide online audience who chose to look at the curated titles passages that related most to their interests. Although this was the least attended event in PARALLAX-SHIFT history, it was definitely one of our favorite one to host, as it offered the rare opportunity to all to take a close look through books that are rare and unobtainable to some.

**The Rare Book Salon on 7/3/21 was an Online Only Event**

July 13, 2021. PARALLAX-SHIFT presents BYO3D

Our July BYO3D meetup was such a blast that no one even had a moment to snap any photos. It was chock full of stereoscopic goodness, there were Star Wars holograms, integral images, 3D Video Games, 3D printed stereo camera accessories, Lumia sculptures, med format and 35mm stereo slides, plus, Nima of Leia Inc joined us and showed off their latest tablet and Red Hydrogen One 3D smartphone.
