anaglyph
Anaglyph is a stereoscopic technique used to create the illusion of a three-dimensional image by combining two images photographed from slightly different perspectives into one. This is often viewed using glasses with two different color lenses (usually red and cyan) that separate the two images and allow each eye to see a slightly different perspective, creating a sense of depth and 3D perception. This method is commonly used in films, print images, and digital media for 3D visual effects.
