[edit] Anaglyph 3D movies
When you put together anaglyph images and play them in sequence, you have an anaglyph 3D movie.
To use anaglyph 3D you need a pair of anaglyph glasses. These glasses have a different color for each eye, allowing each eye to receive different images. Each image is made to mimic the angles of each eye, giving a perception of depth. Most common are red and cyan glasses.
The glasses are inexpensive, making anaglyph 3D the cheapest 3D alternative available. You can get low cost paper glasses or more expensive glass/ plastic glasses. Anaglyph 3D movies have been available for decades, making anaglyph 3d a well proven technology.
These days anaglyph 3D is often used to play 3D movies on computers and tablets, which do not have fancy and expensive active shutter technology. Anaglyph 3D movies are especially popular with iPod, Galaxy Tab and other tablet users.
