The International Stereoscopic Union (ISU) was founded in 1975 and is the only international 3D association in the world. The ISU is a club of individual 3D enthusiasts as well as a club of stereo clubs. The ISU’s members currently number more than 1,050 and come from over 40 countries world-wide.
3D-Photography, 3D Video Imaging, Computer Stereo, Digital Stereo Projection, Holography, Virtual Reality and all other stereoscopic photography techniques are used by members of the ISU.
Although the ISU caters mainly to the 3D amateur photographer, the ISU also has much to offer to members who are professional stereo photographers and cinematographers, as well as to those who are involved in the scientific aspects of the stereoscopic image.
Stereoscopy – the publication of 3D image-makers
The quarterly Journal of the ISU, Stereoscopy – the publication of 3D image-makers, is circulated to all members and is considered to be an important item keeping the membership up-to-date with the Arts and Technology of 3D Imaging.
Apart from tuition in 3D photographic techniques, the Journal carries information and articles from around the world on new equipment, literature and all manner of related subjects.
Many articles are well illustrated with 3D drawings and stereo photos – and since 2007, every issue is printed in full color with high-resolution photographs.
Biennial International Stereo Congress
A major activity of the ISU is the organization of a Congress every second year in one of the member countries. The ISU World Congress is the perfect place to meet fellow stereographers face to face, to network, and to exchange ideas.
The 24th ISU World Congress, will take place from September 12 to 18, 2023 in Tsukuba, Japan. More Information will follow.
