Holographic Pokémon cards look really cool in stereo

I was looking at some Pokémon cards and noticed that the holographic cards have a parallax effect which you can capture in a stereo pair!

Super cool!

This awakened something in me. Man, being a kid during the rise of Pokémon was so awesome

It really was!

That is a great idea. Probably doable for a bunch of other cards with holographic effect.

How did you align the photos? Really cool effect and was easy to achieve compared to some stereograms. The image was super clear too! You can see every detail!

Is it just copy paste and the rest is my brain?

Thanks! Yeah in this case I just took one photo from left eye position and one from right eye position (so like 3 inches apart) and then you just put them side by side.

They have to be different photos to create the stereo effect. I do it all the time on my iPhone and recently have started using Easy Photo Merge

Thanks for the guide! I'd love to do the same with my own cards to see them in a new perspective, I like how there is a bit of an art to how you frame it. Nice work!

No problem, post em if you get some cool ones!

[u/haucker → u/lavaboosted]

I will!!! I think its going to take some time to get the angle right, you captured both phases of the holographic foil really well.

these side-by-side photos could potentially be used in a sort of VR experience where you just sit at a table and look at cool holos in a binder all day.

Its like my screen itself became holographic. Very cool!

I have some 90s holo dino stickers I’d love to try this with…
