Artificial stereo vision emulates the human ability to see the world in three-dimensions using two eyes. The NASA Web site has provided these shots as an "anaglyph," designed for viewing in 3D with red-green glasses.
"We emulate what the brain does in converting the two views into 3D by a technique called stereo matching. This enables us to produce novel views of the scene, and hence the movie in which the camera seems to move around the 3D object and back again," said Andrew Blake, a senior researcher at Microsoft Research Cambridge.
