Anaglyphic glasses are used for viewing 3D images in print, movies, websites, games and computer applications.  The viewer is fed the same object in contrasting colours and slightly offset to produce two different perspectives. This creates a 3D effect in the viewer's mind. 

Many anaglyphic images are available for online viewing.  Links to these and information on how students can produce their own 3D images on a computer screen can be found in our "Downloads" section. See "Anaglyphic 3D Glasses".
