i have a question: this article describes the early career of Maruyama Okyo(1733-1795)

"The shop began selling European stereoscopes, novelties that when looked into presented the illusion of a three-dimensional image. It was Ōkyo's first look at Western-style perspective,[1] and in 1767 he tried his hand at one of the images. He created Harbour View, a small picture in single-point perspective. Ōkyo soon mastered the techniques of drawing stereoscope images "

But how is it possible? Stereoscopy was invented by Charles Wheatstone in 1838 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.78.17.67 (talk) 13:12, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I would also argue that this passage is wrong; the stereosope was invented by Wheatstone and there was no earlier device for stereoscopy which seems be confused here with the megane-e; There is not much information avalaible on the megane-e, but this passaged should be corrected and information about the megane-e added if available — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.52.234.209 (talk) 11:50, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
