First place Minoru on the desk or on the top of your monitor at a distance of about 3 feet

(1 metre) from your face. At this sta e you should not wear the 3D lasses.

Focus Minoru’s left eye by turnin the lens rin until the ima e of your face appears sharp.

Focus Minoru’s ri ht eye by turnin the lens rin until the ima e of your face appears

sharp.

Vertical ali nment...At this point you should still not wear the 3D lasses. Look at Minoru

and you should see two ima es of your face on the screen, a blue ima e and a red ima e.

Adjust the vertical slider so that the red and blue ima es of your face are at exactly the

same hei ht on the screen. Sometimes it is easiest to look at the top or bottom of your

head or at your eyes in order to ali n the two ima es.

Horizontal ali nment...Still do not wear the 3D lasses, don’t worry you can put them on

very soon. Look at the two ima es of your face on screen and adjust the horizontal slider

so that the two ima es of your face mer e into one. Note that you will still see red and

blue ima es of the objects in front and behind you.

Now put on the 3D lasses for the first time. Spend some time experiencin the 3D effect

for yourself. Stretch your arms out ahead of you and they will appear to come out from

the screen. Put your arms behind your head and they will appear to o into the screen.
