Adventures in 3-D
Vision Test: Adventures in 3-D

January 17, 2005 - May 1, 2005
Have you ever wondered how 3-D movies are made? Or how some artists create incredibly realistic 3-D images using only paint and canvas? Adventures in 3-D is a traveling exhibition from the Pacific Science Center that explores how our eyes and brain work together to operate in a three-dimensional world and examines the technology used to create 3-D illusions.

The exhibition is separated into several categories such as:

  • Perception/Illusion
  • Perspective Exhibits
  • 3-D Technology
  • 3-D Illusion
  • 3-D Galleries
Some exhibition highlights include:
  • The Main Brain, a giant head you can actually step into
  • Illusion Room, a room with crazy visual cues
  • Hologram Gallery, where two-dimensional objects appear three dimensional
  • Floating Jewels, a 3-D illusion preventing the viewer from capturing the treasures
