Abstract: This paper presents an optical instrument called synopter, which consists of an apparatus whose objective is to transform two-dimensional images into three-dimensional, without using any electronic or digital circuit, working in a way that is known as “3D cinema”, providing a sensation of tridimensionality. The analysis of the present paper will focus on the functioning of the apparatus as a whole and its differences and advantages relative to other similar technologies.
Key words: synopter, three-dimensionality, optical instrument.
