    View this Wiggled (pseudo 3D)
  • John Wattie said:
    Pseudoscopic (reversed stereo) is viewed cross-eyed by experienced stereoscopists, many of whom prefer image pairs this way round. This is how the picture comes out of a stereoscopic camera (which inverts, like all cameras do) and the two images have to be transposed to produce parallel eye stereo. Wiggled works in a way but is not true stereo.
  • Peppin ANAGLYPHE said:
    Same problems inverted, but the quality of stereo is very great!!!
