A 3-dimensional visit to Gaudi's modernist architectural masterpiece including a bourgeois apartment with furniture, decoration and objects of the early 20th century. Casa Milà, better known as La Pedrera (Catalan for 'The Quarry'), is a building designed by the Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí and built during the years 1906-1910, being considered officially completed in 1912. It is located at 92, Passeig de Gràcia (passeig is Catalan for promenade) in the Eixample district of Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. It was built for the married couple, Rosario Segimon and Pere Milà. Rosario Segimon was the wealthy widow of José Guardiola, an Indiano, a term applied locally to the Catalans returning from the American colonies with tremendous wealth. Her second husband, Pere Milà, was a developer who was criticized for his flamboyant lifestyle. The building is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site "Works of Antoni Gaudí". The building is now owned by Caixa Catalunya How to view in 3D - Technical notes: I used a single ordinary video camera but I edited the video for three-dimentional viewing. The 3D effect is produced using the cross-eye technique. Basicly, you should cross your eyes so as to see a third full image in the middle and then focus on that third image. Make sure both the screen and your eyes are horizontal and the screen is straight in front of you. If you are not familiar, you may need a few minutes of training. Then it will be as natural as normal vision. For more technical details and information search the internet for "cross eye" or "cross eyed" 3D viewing method WARNING: The current optometrist view is that cross-eyed viewing does not harm the eyes; it is rather a good exercise for the eye muscles. But it may cause fatigue and strain, even when you have mastered the technique. Please view responsibly.
