12 or more customized cameras are used with Almont’s software running on each camera’s digic processor chip. Precise measurements are taken so that photos are an accurate representation of how scenes appear in real life.

Almont has created a custom calibration method to align and match a print overlay lens to his multi-perspective interlaced image. This calibration ensures that separate images will be seen by each eye to create an accurate stereoscopic optical illusion. The lens overlays are the highest quality commercial grade lenticular sheets; however, Almont hand selects each lens, discarding about 50% that he finds unacceptable. He is currently working on developing his own cast lens material to further improve the quality of his creations.

The highest resolution commercially available ink-jet printers are used to output multi-perspective interlaced imagery created with Almont’s proprietary software. Almont worked with Ergosoft to customize raster image processor software to control his printers with extreme dot and color accuracy. HDR (high dynamic range) inks are used that take advantage of the source 18 bit per color HDR photographs.

By hand-bonding prints to lens material, Almont is able to achieve higher color accuracy and stereoscopic image placement better than what is achieved with current offset printing. This method makes it possible to produce prints designed for backlighting. While more expensive, backlit prints have improved 3D definition and clarity. Different lens stocks produce varying degrees of image depth at various viewing distances. Most of Almont's work is designed to be viewed from about four feet and depicts a true to life size and view of a scene.
