AnaglyphColors (2) 

By default, Red and Cyan are used for the anaglyph colors:

In[19]:=

Out[19]=

Choose different colors to support different types of 3D glasses:

In[20]:=

Out[20]=

---

Interactively tune colors for a specific set of 3D glasses (the left color should be invisible to the left eye, and the right color should be invisible to the right eye):

In[21]:=

Applications (1) 

Use depth perception to infer that the purple ball is closer to the camera than the green ball:

Properties and Relations (2) 

Any function that returns a Graphics3D object can be converted to a stereogram using Stereogram3D:

In[25]:=

Out[25]=

In[26]:=

Out[26]=

In[27]:=

Out[27]=

If using the default anaglyph colors (Red and Cyan), the different views can be extracted from the image color channels. Here is an anaglyph with excessive divergence for illustrative purposes:

In[28]:=

Out[28]=

Observe that the green and blue channels share a common viewpoint while the red channel is distinct:

In[29]:=

Out[29]=

Although some color information is lost, recombining channels gives the same pair of perspectives as the side-by-side stereogram:

In[30]:=

Out[30]=

In[31]:=

Out[31]=

Possible Issues (2) 

Since axes, ticks and labels are displayed dynamically based on the current view, they may not always line up in the two images:

In[32]:=

Out[32]=

Axes can be disabled to avoid inconsistent images:

In[33]:=

Out[33]=

Neat Examples (3) 

Convert the 3D graphics in a demonstration to stereogram views (a fancier video version can be seen here):

In[34]:=

Out[34]=

View the anaglyph instead (updating will be slower):
