Stereoscopy is an image technique that creates the illusion of depth and three-dimensional space. This method uses our ability to see the world three-dimensionally with both eyes and attempts to simulate this effect artificially.
What is anaglyph and how does it work
Anaglyph is a method of creating stereoscopic/three-dimensional (3D) images using special glasses. This technique uses different colours for each eye, creating the illusion of depth and space.
What 3D glasses exist and how they work
