It is called Hyper-stereo.
Normal stereo: spacing of lenses/cameras (stereo base) equal to spacing of
eyes
Hyper stereo: stereo base >> (larger) than spacing of eyes
Hypo stereo: stereo base << (smaller) than spacing of eyes
The impression of looking at these hyper/hypo stereos is interesting:
In a hyperstereo everything looks *smaller* as if the buildings etc. are
little model/toys, not the real thing. In a hypostereo everything looks
larger.
To understand why in a hyperstereo everything looks smaller, consider that
your eyes are spaced equal to the cameras, i.e. maybe several feet apart.
Then you are a giant looking down at the city, or you are regular person
and the city is a model/toy city, not the real thing.
We once had a visitor in our stereo club that looked at a hyperstereo and
absolutely refused to accept that this was a real scene. She insisted that
it was a miniature model. No mater what I said about hyperstereos, etc., in
the end she remained unconvinced.
The hypostereo effect is less dramatic.
These effects are unique in stereo and one of the reasons that I find this
type of photography so fascinating!
