Gibbon writes "This device lets you take 3D anaglyph photos and movies with an ordinary camera. The parts cost about $30. It's pretty simple to build and you don't need any special softare or camera equipment. Please let me know if you have any improvements on this design." - Link.

Very nice. I might have to build one of these.

Your device exagerates the 3D effect a bit, it looks good but kind of hurts my eyes when I try to focus on details.

I usually spend a lot of time combining the two images to get it to look natural. The ease of using your device more than makes up for any shortcoming for some uses.

surely there is some way to mitigate that effect, through playing with the placement (etc.) of the lenses...

Anyone tried this with a video camera?
