1An anaglyph is defined in the Webster’s New Collegiate Dictionary as
“a stereoscopic motion or still picture in which the right component
of a composite image usu. red in color is superposed on the left
component in a contrasting color to produce a three-dimensional effect
when viewed through correspondingly colored filters in the form of
spectacles.” A copy of the dictionary definition is attached.
