'Stereoscopic' is a word that describes a way of generating images that appear 3-dimensional by having two different images, each with a slightly different perspective. One image is viewed by the left eye, the other by the right.
This wireframe applet employs the same stereoscopic technique as the old 3-d movies, which is to provide one color of image for one eye, and another color for the other. The other eye's image is filtered out by a coloured lens.
The ViewMaster is a stereoscopic imaging device, based on a very old device known as the stereo-opticon. This was simply two lenses held at a distance from two images, in such a way as to focus each eye on a separate image.
