In collaboration with Researcher Emeritus Martine Grainey, MarsX3D is proud to offer a series of 3D realizations representing some of Ms. Grainey’s most compelling finds. These are her original renditions. Nothing has been changed, altered or added in any way other than to apply the process of planar extrapolation, rendering the image in X3D stereo.
Half-buried in the sand, what appears to be a piece of industrial equipment slowly succumbs to corrosion and abrasion. Nevertheless, its non-fractal lines and angles are clearly-seen; always an indicator of intelligent design.
Riveted straps, perhaps metallic in composition, curve around the front and back of the object. The front is clearly square in shape and hollow, while the rear is clearly tubular.
A rock? Nope. We feel that this is just another example of the industrial debris found everywhere on Mars.

“SO, HOW DO I VIEW X3D STEREO?”Simple! While viewing the stereo pair at a comfortable distance, gently cross your eyes (no eye-strain) until you perceive three images all the same width. The one in the center is in 3D. Just relax into it and your eyes will automatically bring it into focus. Once you have it, you will never forget how to do it. Kinda like riding a bicycle…
