Red/cyan 3D art

Put on red/cyan glasses (red on the left) and the painting gets real depth. Add a word to float it in front.

Questions

What glasses do I need?

Standard red/cyan 3D glasses with the red lens on the left eye. Paper ones cost about a dollar and work fine.

How is the depth made?

We estimate depth from the picture: things lower in the frame are treated as nearer, with a boost for bright, colourful subjects. It is an artistic estimate, not a measurement, so some scenes pop more than others.

Can I print it?

Yes. Download the JPG and print it; red/cyan 3D works on paper too.
