3D Anaglyph Photos: Got Glasses?
2007.10.05
Someone sent me a little video clip from an old movie that was in 3D using the anaglyph method. To see the movie in 3D you had to wear those funny looking glasses with one red lens and one blue lens. It just so happens that I have a pair of those glasses. Just some cheap little cardboard ones that I had stashed in a drawer since 1998! I decided I would like to try to make some 3D anaglyph photos. For my first attempt I just used my web cam.

OK, so photos of my head are not very interesting, so I went down to the Harbour and took some photos there.

This one worked quite well, but the people along the boardwalk took funny because they were moving between shots. You want everything in the photos to be as still if possible.

This one is not bad, but I have have moved the camera too far for the second shot.

I like this one, but there is something weird about the post on the right... it looks like it is further away than the ropes, but it's actually closer. Strange.

This one was made in a slightly different way. For this method you have to convert the images to gray scale mode (and then one gets turned back into RGB mode). I like the colour images, but it seems that the grey scale images work beter as anaglyphs.

You need a pair of 3D Anaglyph glasses to see these images in 3D. If enough people are interested I'll post a little tutorial on how to make your own 3D anaglyphs, but really, there are likely all sorts of them on the web already.
