I know that anaglyph technology is old but people like me who do not have a 3DTV set at home still use this.

I have downloaded a free Side-By-Side 3D clip from the internet for testing purpose and will watch it using Stereoscopic Player using my home made anaglyph 3D glasses.

So, to make the glasses, what we need are, a piece of red colored plastic sheet, a piece of blue colored plastic sheet and optionally but preferably, a glasses frame. Or you can make your own glasses frame using cardboard.

Cut both plastic sheets to make them fit into glasses frame and place the red at your left eye frame and the blue at your right eye frame.

So, like the title says, today I’m going to show you how to watch 3D videos without 3D Equipment. One way to watch 3D without non 3d equipments is to cross your eyes. Now you don’t have to do that.

What you need to have are:

1. A rectangular mirror

2. A side-by-side (SBS) 3D video with left image is flipped horizontally. You can try search for free 3D sbs video on the internet and use Stereoscopic Player. Refer this tutorial to make your own Anaglyph 3D glasses that you can watch 3D videos using Stereoscopic Player. The easiest way is to watch on YouTube.

3. Any display such as your laptop or desktop display.

How to watch?

1. Place the mirror between your eyes and let the another end of the mirror about to or fully touch the screen.

2. Focus both your eyes to the right image. By doing this, your left eye will see right image while
your left eye trying to see right image but reflected by mirror resulting the one eye sees left image.
So illusion created and you will see the video in 3d.
