32mTHIS IS A DEMO DISK0m
This Demo Version is identical to the Full Version, except for two things.
The introductory sequence has been altered, and all saved pictures are
covered with the word DEMO.
32mWELCOME TO STEREOP-JR0m
Stereop-Jr changes regular pictures into real 3-D pictures. You make
three regular pictures with Deluxe Paint or Personal Paint, then you load
them into Stereop-Jr and convert them into one "stereoscopic" picture. The
far-off things look really far off, and the close-up things look as if
they're hovering out in front of the screen.
You look at a Stereop-Jr picture through simple, home-made glasses with a
red lens for the left eye and a blue lens for the right eye.
If you have a colour printer, you can make 3-D prints of your pictures.
Even a beginner with the simplest Amiga can complete his first stereoscopic
picture in a few minutes.
32mTHE GLASSES0m
The Do-It-Yourself 3-D glasses kit supplied with Stereop-Jr contains a
set of lenses and an instruction sheet with a template. Follow the
instructions on the sheet to make a pair of glasses that will fit a child
or small adult.
If you need another pair or a larger pair, read the page called MAKE YOUR
OWN GLASSES in the User Guide. It contains complete instructions (including
where to find the material for the lenses).
32mSYSTEM REQUIREMENTS0m
A one-megabyte PAL Amiga, Kickstart 1.3 to 3.
33m>>0m PLEASE NOTE that Stereop-2 may be incompatible with certain A1200
accelerators and ram expansion boards. Some boards can be disabled with a
keypress on bootup. Others may have to be disconnected.
32mINSTALLING STEREOP-JR0m
The StereopJr drawer and its complete contents are necessary to the working
of Stereop-Jr. You can run Stereop-Jr from the StereopJrD disk with no
installation.
To install Stereop-Jr on a hard disk, copy the complete StereopJr Drawer
from the StereopJrD disk to your hard disk. For example, to copy it to hard
disk partition dh1:, open a Shell window and enter these two commands:
COPY StereopJrD:StereopJr TO dh1:StereopJr ALL
COPY StereopJrD:StereopJr.info TO dh1:StereopJr.info
Or, from Workbench, just drag the StereopJr drawer icon from the StereopJrD
disk window to the dh1: disk window.
Then remove the StereopJrD disk from your system, open the new StereopJr
drawer, and double-click the StereopJrD program icon. A file selector will
appear. Use it to locate the SJ-Locate file in the StereopJr drawer, and
double-click the file name.
