Tennis, Anyone?

Since I have officially retired from teaching stereoscopic theory, I am aggressively looking for other things to do. I found these tennis courts right down the street, just a few blocks away from home. They are at a high school, but I was told that the public can use them.

This video has close to 1/30 (3.3%) Net Stereoscopic Deviation (NetD), which is the only amount of depth that can produce a perfectly cubic stereoscopic illusion, viewable with any horizontal field of view (from any seat).
.5% positive parallax is used to avoid eye divergence on any screen up to 40 feet wide.
The ghost-free floating window eliminates left and right edge violations.

As you can see in this 3D image, the new rear-view mirror on Janice Maddy’s bike works great.
This video has close to 1/30 (3.3%) Net Stereoscopic Deviation (NetD), which is the only amount of depth that can produce a perfectly cubic stereoscopic illusion, viewable with any horizontal field of view (from any seat).

Risking My Life For A Windscreen Test

It was a scary ride… total chaos, too much traffic on the highway, and the unsafe bicycle has broken spokes and needs a serious fixing-up. Because of all that chaos, the composited dual-shot with the talking-to-myself effect… one recorded while going up the road (the background), and the other one while going back down (my head)… is probably appropriate.
The good news is the homemade Bloggie microphone windscreen seems to work perfectly, which is why I shot this video, i.e., to test the windscreen.
The Gorillapod… not as lucky. I need a better way to mount the camera to the bike. Also, that shot straight up at my head, although much more steady than the background, because the right side of the camera was resting firmly on the bell, is a very odd angle. Not sure what could be done about that.

Broken Spokes Question and Mall-Hopping

Can you bicycle people please help us? Why are Janice and I breaking spokes?
Meanwhile, we are getting ready to go mall-hopping here in southern California.
Since I need to solve the bicycle wheels problem before we can hit the bike trails, I am testing my homemade Steadicam again in this video while walking and jogging. You know when I start running when you hear me say, “Double time, march!”
The audio noise in the Bloggie 3D background footage is actually from the wind, not the walking or running, but I also need to solve that problem, too, if anyone has any ideas for a Bloggie windscreen.
