Hubble In Anaglyph Stereo 3D

rwllama writes "We at the Hubble Space Telescope have quietly released our first anaglyph (i.e. red/cyan) stereo 3D movie of a flight into a Hubble image. This work is a follow-on to the sequences we produced for the 'Hubble 3D' Imax film. Note that the 3D interpretation uses lots of artistic license, so it is not intended to be scientifically accurate. We would love to hear the Slashdot crowd's feedback on whether you want more, are artistic interpretations of scientific data acceptable, is anaglyph 3D too annoying, how many could watch this with a real 3D (e.g., NVIDIA 3D Vision) setup, etc?"

First new word I leaned today: Anaglyph

I thought it was Analglyph at first

Would that be a tatoo on your arse designed to be viewed with 3d glasses?

It could open up some interesting lines: "Hey babe, if you like 3d movies I've got something to show you!" or "now your here would you like to come upstairs and take a look at my anaglyph?"

If this were posted to photo.net...

Ouch - this is the best that Hubble can do? The images show serious chromatic aberrations, with significant red-blue fringing on edges. What's worse is that the effect gets more pronounced as the camera moves around. They should really consider ditching the point-and-shoot and movie up to an SLR with a decent carl-zeiss lens if they want to be taken seriously.

FAKE.

This isn't true 3D, just like the special edition of Nightmare Before Christmas was not true 3D.

Unfortunately they didn't have the budget to place the cameras 500 light years apart to get a true stereoscopic image of the Large Megallanic Cloud.
