This is a fractal generating program that includes an excellent option for making 3D random dot stereograms, using one fractal (usually fairly complex) as the background and another (fairly simple) as the hidden image. The possibilities are infinite and the results can be very beautiful. Fractint also provides for making stereo pairs and anaglyphs (and yes, '2 1/2-D' transformations) from a single fractal. The software is an old 16 bit DOS command-line program that takes some practice to learn, but it works beautifully. Requires DOS, but also works with Windows™ 95, 98, 2000, Me, NT or XP.

OneEyeStereo is a free (for non-commercial use) 3D Stereo Photo Viewer that runs in any Flash enabled browser on any platform. In addition to traditional stereo displays like anaglyph or side by side views, the applet smoothly ani­mates your photos to create the illusion of depth without the need for glasses or special viewing techniques.

Please note that you need an HTTP server for OneEyeStereo.

OneEyeStereo was programmed by Volker 'Bill' Schülbe. For more information, see http://www.proggies2go.org/pages/oesdemo/oesdemo.html

Wiggle is a client-side JavaScript program for aligning stereoscopic image sets and a Flash applet for viewing them. Authoring WiggleSets requires only a JavaScript browser, and a browser with Flash plugin (6+) is all that is needed to view the output.

AnaBuilder is a freeware program for the creation of anaglyph-type stereoscopic photographs. By shifting two views of the same scene, AnaBuilder builds an image that is stereoscopic when viewed through Red/Cyan glasses. The program makes it possible to readjust the two views manually or fully automatically! Adjusted pairs can also be saved.

AnaBuilder (Windows) also allows stereo-morphing to convert a 2D photo into a 3D photo, or to modify the depht of an existing 3D photo, as well as a 2D -> 3D -> Stereo conversion tool.

A MacOS-Version is also available.

KMovisto is a molecule viewer for using in quantum chemistry. You are able to import GAUSSIAN 94 and GAUSSIAN 98 files (obtained from UNIX or MS Windows systems) or XYZ files and view your results in several view modes or edit the molecule geometry. Especially the 3D view modes (anaglyph or stereo pair) make it possible to enjoy stereoscopic impressions of the molecular structure - so this is what KMovisto makes a real 3D molecule viewer.

KMovisto was written by Mario Hoverath, Cologne, Germany. For more information, see http://mitglied.lycos.de/PageOfMH/index.html

Here's a link to the mplayer page: http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/news.html

It is a command line video player but is possibly the most popular on Linux because of its capacity to play almost any anything, especially if you count GUIs that use it as a base such as gnome-mplayer and smplayer.

And here's a link to a copy of the video filter section of the mplayer manual which covers software 3D support (search for stereo3d): http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/man/en/mplayer.1.html#VIDEO FILTERS

Here's a link to the section on the same page covering hardware 3d support through opengl (search for stereo=<value>): http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/man/en/mplayer.1.html#VIDEO OUTPUT DRIVERS (MPLAYER ONLY)

SIV (Stereoscopic Image Viewer) is capable of displaying JPS stereo images and MPO stereo images in different stereo modes. It was tried in fullscreen/windowed mode with anaglyphic and quad buffered stereo mode.

Main features in the 1.0 version are quad buffered stereo and vr920 headtracking.

SIV - created by Jürgen Löb - needs to be compiled. More information is available from http://www.mygnu.de/index.php/siv-a-stereoscopic-jps-viewer-for-linux

This script takes a folder of .MPO files, extracts left and right images, and assembles them into pairs suitable for cross-eye, side-by-side and over-under (View Magic) use.

The script seems to run fine on Linux and Mac. The shell is specified as 'bash', but most should work as well. The script output files are easy to size in Open Office Draw. This script and Open Office Draw are a simple solution for anyone with a Mac or Linux to enjoy stereo photos from this fine Fuji camera.

Split MPO was written by Dr. Michael Pitchford.

This QuickLook plugin enables a Fuji W3 3D MPO format image to be viewed by default in the finder and other applications using QuickLook on Mac OSX 10.5 or later. QuickLook isn't available for systems below 10.5

This software for creating your 3D slide show runs on Windows computers. It can make 3D images for anaglyphs or for interleave images or for dual projectors from your Left & Right stereo images taken by your digital cameras or scanner, and it can sync wav sounds. All order of your slides show and sounds are indicated by 'order.txt' file at the same folder of this software.

If you have two PC-projectors and dual VGA video card, you will be able to have 3D projection by using dual screen mode of this program.
