3D stereo recording technique and performance of the 3D video "A roundtrip with the Transrapid TR09 maglev"
(Photos: Maaß/Dittmer)

On this page there are selected 3D photos and videos on the subject of magnetic levitation technology, i.e. so to speak
Maglev Systems as you can touch.

This was the title of a multimedia presentation at the MAGLEV Conference 2016 in Berlin. In the accompanying book (ISBN 9 783940 685285), a technical article of the same name was published. Among other things, it deals with the content shown, its recording technique, and aspects of learning psychology. It can be downloaded here.

For video playback we recommend the Bino Stereoscopic Player. The open-souce software is also available for Linux and Mac systems

To view the photos you need a HTML 5 capable browser, e.g. a current version of Mozilla Firefox. Additional you must allow the execution of JavaScript code from our homepage.

The HTML-5 viewer comes from Masuji Suto (contact: http://stereo.jpn.org/eng/mail.htm/) and supports different 3D display formats (e.g. anaglyphs for red-cyan glasses) as well as a two-dimensional single image (in this case: instead of "SBS" - side-by-side - as default, please click "2D" in the next "stereo" pull-down behind "L/R").

The photos were edited by the program StereoPhoto Maker from Masuji Suto. The following slide shows are available:

A Video against forgetting. Impressions from operation of Transrapid TR09 on Transrapid Test Facility Emsland (Northern Germany) with scenes of a rounttrip with the Transrapid. Historical comments from Detlev J. Schubsky (1953-2006) who was able to explain maglev technology and political context in short and concise sentences. The fate did not allow him to see the TR09 in action.
