It has been said that certain types of high end video displays, when adjusted properly, make an image that looks three dimensional. I have seen some of the most expensive video systems ever made, and no image ever looked three dimensional to me. The reason is that for an image to really look three dimensional, your left and right eye have to view slightly different images. This can be accomplished through several methods using any video display. Stereoscopy is the science that deals with stereoscopic effects and methods. One of the methods is the Anaglyph. An Anaglyph is a stereoscopic image that produces a very real 3D effect when viewed through 3D glasses that have a red lens for the left eye and a cyan lens for the right eye. Here are some links to 3D Anaglyph images on the web:
3D anaglyphs of aircraft. They are all in 800x600 wallpaper format. 3D images from the Mars Rovers Spirit and Opportunity 3D images from the Mars Pathfinder 2000 Sports Illustrated 3D Swimsuit issue
The Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) has produced the first high-resolution, near-global elevation dataset of Earth. Here is an Anaglyph created from this data of Los Angeles and adjacent mountainous terrain. To see the full image, click on the Full-Res TIFF or JPEG link on the right side of that page. stereoscopy.com - The World of 3D Imaging stereoview.org - Home of the National Stereoscopic Association
Here are some 3D Anaglyph images from the NASA Earth Observatory web site. Some of these are very large files and will take a while to load, but they are worth the wait! Los Angeles, California, USA (3.1 Mb) Manicouagan Crater, Quebec, Canada (1.9 Mb) Laguna Mellquina, Andes Mountains, Argentina (1.1 Mb) Sredinnyy Khrebet, Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia (1.8 Mb) Deepest Canyons of the Andes, Arequipa, Peru (780 Kb) Hurricane Alberto, August 19, 2000, North Atlantic (459 Kb) Africa, Saudi Arabia (9600 x 10,500 pixels, 13.1 Mb) Spectacular but huge! |
