Abstract: Encoding left and right eye stereoscopic image pairs into a color coded ‘anaglyph’ image allows for 3-D viewing through colored eyewear. The color mapping may be tailored locally to specific eyewear and display hardware and generates anaglyph output from distributed full-color left and right eye stereoscopic data. In an exemplary embodiment, determination of eyewear may involve viewer interaction through visual inspection of displayed calibration images or by other means. Left and right eye data may be mapped onto high quality anaglyph images. The overall approach attempts to provide a consistent, good quality stereoscopic experience for different displays and eyewear.
