This is very cool. Am using the glasses you gave me in fact. Very good depth of field. Can't deal with when I zoom all the way in though, ouch, product liability, my eyes are still crossed;) Had me thinking there could be a better way if we created a special anaglyph uploader that based the separation on the zoom level. Give this uploader two separated scenes and it would build the red green separation based on the zoom level. Any coders out there?

I realize that the separation of the red and blue layers is too much when you zoom in deeply on this one - it hurts my eyes too! The camera spacing was about one foot apart in this case. See: http://www.gigapanner.com/?p=50 In my previous anaglyph (http://www.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=3527) I had matched the two images at the horizon in the far distance. Foreground objects (of which there were very few in that GigaPan) were offset too far, but over most of the image the separation was reasonable. In this case I matched the images on the promontory just right of center, so that the surveyors rod would be more or less perfectly aligned in the two images. This works well for the foreground objects and some of the distant objects if you don't zoom in too far, but distant objects at full zoom have too much separation to be properly viewed. I agree that the solution you propose, odyssey, that uses different separations for the different levels of zoom might be a workable fix for this image. I wonder, though, whether a closer spacing or deeper alignment point might obviate the need for such a fix... Time to experiment!

Really nice on my 24 inch monitor in full screen mode. Not hard to deal with zoomed in parts. Seems like the key to zooming in is leaning back from the monitor am extra foot or two. This way objects to be more true life size rather than viewing a miniature 3 D model of the scene. Sure the viewers FOV is smaller but what you are looking at through the viewing window seems more realistically sized.
