Create Stereograms on Your PC


Book Description

Written for the beginner, this book introduces the reader to Random Dot Stereograms (RDS) and many other types of 3D illusions. With this book and a very modest home computer, the reader can produce their own stereograms. The disk contains a complete set of graphics software tools--everything needed to create professional quality stereograms.




Smarandache Sequences, Stereograms and Series, by C. Ashbacher


Book Description

Florentin Smarandache is truly a Renaissance man, having produced quality work in art, mathematics and literature. This is my fifth book where I expand on some of his mathematical ideas and there seems to be no end in sight. In chapter 1, several sequences created by concatenating all of the natural numbers are examined. By expressing the numbers in bases other than 10, a single type of concatenation can generate several different sequences. Upon examination, it can be seen that there are some significant differences between the sequences. Subsets of the natural numbers can be concatenated to create additional sequences and several are examined in chapter 2. The successive odd numbers and the successive even numbers are concatenated to form two of the sequences that are considered in detail. A stereogram is a two-dimensional image that contains a three-dimensional image. By looking at it long enough, the eyes lose focus in just the right way and the image appears. Simple Smarandache stereograms can be constructed using only characters and many different images are presented in chapter 3. The Smarandache functions can be used in combination with other mathematical operations to create many different infinite series. Many such series are examined in chapter four and conclusions whether they converge or diverge are reached.




The Magic PC Stereogram Book


Book Description

Stereogram books and posters have been selling like hot cakes. On the surface, the images appear as static or some repeating pattern. But if you refocus on the image correctly, a 3D image seems to rise from the page. This book features numerous high quality images, plus instructions on how to create stereograms, and software to let users generate their own sterograms.

Representing Consumers


Book Description

Consumer research has traditionally focused on issues of epistemology in the collection and analysis of data. As a consequence, the crisis in representation which has radically reshaped understanding in the social sciences, has, so far, had very little impact on consumer research. This book redresses the balance with an investigation of representation and constructions of 'truth' in consumer research. Subjects covered include: * construction of the researcher and consumer voice * quantitative tools and representation * advertising narratives * poetic representation of consumer experience * the crisis in the crisis concept * consumer-oriented ethnographic research. The essays are written by experts from Britain and the United States and draw on a broad range of theoretical approaches.
