stereoscope
Victorian 3D viewer
A stereoscope is a device that presents two slightly different images—one to each eye—creating the illusion of three-dimensional depth.
The principle mimics how human vision works: each eye sees from a slightly different angle.
Victorian parlor stereoscopes used paired photographs; the View-Master toy is a modern descendant.
She found her grandmother's old stereoscope in the attic.
