Here's my attempt at creating a ChromaDepth scene in POV-Ray. There is a 
3D effect when wearing the glasses, but it is not very pronounced due to 
the long distances involved. The colors are also not calibrated to the 
scene's coordinate system. I have no idea how to do that.

Here's a stereoscopic version, since I got my stereoscope in the mail 
this week. I used StereoPhoto Maker to assemble the image.

I am disappointed that:

1. The printed images are so small. If I print them larger, then they 
are out of focus due to the magnification of the lenses.
2. At small sizes, the printed images are not very crisp. Maybe taking 
the images to a photo lab will produce better results than my desktop 
printer.
3. The colors are much darker when printed than in the program preview.
4. I'm still not sure if I should make the cameras converge on a single 
point or not. I'm not sure which is better.
5. If I mess with the paper orientation in the printer dialog, then the 
images get cropped or misaligned in weird ways, wasting paper and ink. 
It's better to stick with the defaults I guess.
6. The program doesn't label the left and right source images, so I 
forget which is which. Because of this I don't know for sure whether the 
stereoscope uses the cross-eyed method or not.
7. I can't figure out how to resize the program window so that I can 
preview the images using the stereoscope before printing.

Otherwise, the experience was okay, and did not require a lot of 
preparation or configuration to get good results.

This image pair is definitely not cross-eyed.

I think it definitely is.

Parallel view. It print small so that it'spossible to view that way.
If you print larger, then, you'll need mirrors to compensate for the 
larger size.

Print using the highest DPI setting available. Home printers should be 
able to go up to 1400 DPI or more without problem.

Having convergence or not is dependent on the scale of the scene.
Converging for compact, close up images.
Non-converging for vast scenes like this one.

Flip the images and print at a larger size for cross-eyed view.

Cousin Ricky is right. It is not.

Took me another while of staring at the image, but yes, you're right indeed.

I tested both methods, and convergence definitely looks better. Even on 
my largish scene.

Here is the same scene again, except the cameras converge.
