Now, it is necessary to photograph two pictures of the same scene on different reels (one as seen by the right eye and the other by the left), and project them from separate machines so that they merge into one picture. In the Vectograph system, now in the final stages of development, one camera takes two images on a single frame of film, and projects them by a single machine. With Vectograph, Land expects that...

Only last month Polaroid began shipping to commercial users an X-ray film that can be developed in one minute. It is already in wide use in Korea. With these, plus his glasses, Land thinks that Polaroid this year will once again boost sales...

When viewed with Polaroid glasses the picture is fully three-dimensional in ordinary light. When thrown on a screen from an ordinary projector the pictures are automatically polarized by the film, thus need only the viewing glasses...
