This is a video I made using Celestia Space Simulation software, the subject being a brief journey through the solar system and beyond. I originally posted it last March, but never in anaglyph format. Now that YouTube has the 3D player, you can watch it in any 3D format, although I recommend the anaglyph (Red/Cyan glasses: Optimized (Dubois).
It was originally intended to be projected on a large screen and viewed with Pulfrich 3D glasses. Only one viewpoint (no r/l images) is presented in the original, but since there is constant lateral motion, the 3D effect is present since the dark lens over one eye delays processing of that image in the brain, thus, in effect, giving you r/l images for stereo. To say it another way, it's like a constant stream of cha-chas.
I took the original footage, duplicated it, and offset it five frames from the original, thus creating a new version with actual right/left images.
The video is almost twenty minutes long, but since YouTube has a ten-minute limit, I produced it in two parts:
Objects which stay the same distance from the camera look great, but objects moving towards or away from the camera will distort since they have different sizes due to the 5-frame (1/6 second) delay.
This is the kind of distortion I saw in Gug's Avatar trailer, although I don't know exactly how he produced HIS video.
