I have, been doing photographs of scenery for several years now by shifting
the camera a little left or right.  Got a few renders to do that with too on
one of my web pages.  I first saw it in the Photography magazine and I was
instantly amazed.  It's terrible on the eyes though if the images are large
or close, which means detail is usually lost because of being smaller or
further away.
Time and again I've almost gotten a stereoscope or lenses to make one, just
nothing like seeing straight fullcolor 3D without an apparatus, no
comparsion I think.

Have you seen those 3D IMAX movies with the polarized projectors and
polarized glasses?

With one of the Descent games (I think it was Descent 1), if you choose the
correct 3-d option, it would put two images side-by-side on the monitor, and
if you then looked at it cross-eyed, it would look 3d.  No glasses needed,
but talk about a headache!

Regarding the original post: if you play those 3d first-person games with
one eye blocked, you can see quite a bit of 'fake' depth.

I have.. I could never get it to work properly, though.

Those of you with repetitive desktops (say, Mac-users using large
patterns) may find that if you allow your eyes to cross and defocus a
little until the pattern resolves again, it'll seem to sink into the
screen while windows and icons float above it (albeit as blurred double
images, but it's still a cool effect).

Okay, that had nothing to do with POV-Ray, but I thought I'd share. ^^

Yes, it was CyberMax(x). I tried it at a show in Boston. Amazing.
Evem lowly MS's Ultimate Flight (or how it is named) was amazing.
Flying a curve and looking to the left over the wing, I was tempted
to puke....

I don't need glasses for that. If they shoot at me, I always evade
to one side or the other ;-)

Yeah, I have noticed this before, especially when I am extremely bored
and tired.
Actually, right now I have an image covering my desktop, Macs have had
that capability built into the OS since Mac OS 8(or was it System
7.6?). So we aren't restricted to tileable patterns any more.

That gives me an idea, have the desktop image alternate between the two
views and use the LCD glasses, that should be an interesting effect.
Even better if the window and icon positions are adjusted so they
appear to have depth. Might actually make it easier to use.

I thought the CyberMaxx was never released? Or was it just the Mac
version?
The original Marathon(a Mac first-person shooter game) was supposed to
have support for it, but nobody ever got to use it...

No, it was a PC version. I can remember some ads for the Cybermax,
but never have seen a real thing, except for the show. It was the
company that developed it.

I meant "Or was it just the Mac version that wasn't released?". I don't
think the company ever released it for either platform, has anyone ever
seen one for sale?
