Stereoscopic photography is the art of taking two photos of the same thing from a vantage point approximately 9-10cm apart from each other so as to mimic the distance between the human eyes. They are then viewed in such a way as to combine the two images.

Much more than I can write here can be gleaned from the wikipedia entry here though I'm not sure if posting a link like that breaks the rules here!

As to how to achieve this yourself, you're either going to need to buy a stereoscopic camera, though you could try it with a couple of regular cameras but there has been much debate about whether or not this actually works...
