The Stereoscopic Viewer allows viewing 3D stereo images without glasses or special
equipment.
It supports side by side stereo views and red cyan anaglyph.

Image rendered in 3D
Two rendering modes are available:
- 3D Experimental
- Rotate and alternate
The "3D Experimental mode" analyzes the image to produce a depth map. It
requires images with a subject clearly in front of the background.
The "Rotate and alternate mode" alternates between left and right views. It
works with all stereo images. Red/Cyan images are displayed in black & white.

3D Experimental mode hints
Don't expect a computer to have the capacity of a human brain!!!
The algorithm
will fail for:
- Horizontal lines
- Images not properly aligned vertically
- Sky background and/or untextured background
- Large skin areas
- Subject not well defined over background
- Drawings (the source should be real photos)
- Artificial stereo - images separated by a large distance
- Complex images with similar features (like a building with identical
windows)
Results are usually better with "side by side" than "red/cyan"
See these examples for fairly good results with the
3D Experimental mode
