An Olympus OM4 with slide film, in a darkened room. The camera's utomatic exposure worked best.
Experimenting with Vista Pro (the original landscape generator!), it was possible to generate stereo images of a scene. And the graphics - for the time - were incredible. With careful lighting and texturing, it was possible to get nearly photorealistic results.
So I had the thought to photograph the monitor image onto slide film, then use a 3D stereo viewer (like this 'Pinsharp Stereo Slider Viewer': https://www.berezin.com/3d/pinsharp.htm).
The views were stunning! A real sense of depth and place, looking past leafy trees, down into valleys and ravines...
Ha, I remember reading similar advice in an issue of GamePro. They had a section in the back for accolades when someone beat a game or got a high score, and you had to send them a photograph for proof.
