REPORTS:

Catherine A. Daubert, "Projecting Anaglyph Stereo onto a Dome," March, '02, PDF presentation

ANAGLYPH ANIMATION:

Quicktime movies - free - designed for use in computer graphics courses. Red/Cyan glasses needed. Parallel projections only.

Real time rendering of natural phenomena-

  • Fog, Mist, Clouds - Tyler Johnson and David McAllister, dv zip file, 28 Mb
  • Fire - Ben Rose and David McAllister (PDF)

ITERACTIVE PROGRAMS:

ALGORITHMS FOR ANAGLYPHS



NEW TECHNIQUES:

  • A new method for better color matching in anaglyph construction using Chebychev approximation. The method is dependant on the filter transmission functions. For best results view the anaglyph below using red/cyan glasses. The method appears in the proceedings of Electronic Imaging '06, Jan. 2006 in the Stereoscopic Displays and Applications section, paper number 6055A-51.
