“PIN & PLATE” in X3D Stereo

Today’s context view reveals another pin like the one seen in “Metallic Inclusion”. The clean, shiny cylinder and accompanying debris in front of it are circled on the right side and deserve a closer look.
Zooming in, our detail view shows another worked pin with segmented sections. Around it lies debris, perhaps part of the machine from which it came. Of particular interest is the square plate lying directly in front of it. Look at it! Square shape, rivets, holes, extensions and a tangle of tubing in front. These are rocks? I think not!
These are clearly industrial remains, badly twisted and broken after the global cataclysm that wiped Mars clean like a Sunday school blackboard.

“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…
