Introduction
There's no true 3D effect without viewing 2 (slightly) different
images with both eyes. Because your screen is just boringly flat I
assume, it normally shows the same image to both eyes, so we need a trick.
I have chosen to present my pictures in 3 different formats suitable for
stereoscopic viewing: parallel-vision, crossed-eyes and red-blue glasses.
Formats

Parallel-vision
Logo used:
|
In this mode, the left image is on the left and the right image
on the right of your browser. You need to look at the left image with
your left eye, to the right image with your right eye, like watching far
away, but focussing on the screen.
Pros:You don't need glasses and the 3D
effect is often deepest.
Cons:It requires some experience/efforts and
the distance between the 2 images is limited by the spacing of your eyes
(5.5 to 7 cm). Make sure that the distance between the white dots on your
screen is about 6.2 cm (2.4 In).

Crossed-Eyes

Now the left image is on the right and the right one on the left. You should
then cross your eyes to view the picture.
Pros:You don't need glasses and the size of
images is not as much limiting as in parallel viewing.
Cons:It requires some experience/efforts. The
image depth is usually somewhat reduced compared to parallel viewing.

Anaglyphs
Logo used:

A single image is displayed, but it contains two, as can be seen on edges
of objects. The image is a composite of the red component of the left image
and the green/blue components of the right image. Visualization requires
glasses with a red filter over the left eye and a cyan filter over the right eye.
Pros:The size of images is not limited and it
requires little effort.
Cons:The result is not as nice because of the
color filtering: red objects (often flowers in my experience), and to a lesser
extent blue objects in particular are quite disturbing.
You need to have the glasses !

Hints
|
|
For best results, keep some of the black border around pictures (do not adjust your browser window to the size of pictures).

Parallel-vision
|
You need to adjust your display to ~ 100 dpi or more (because each picture
is 260 pixels wide). Then,
the trick is to try looking way beyond the screen first without focussing
at all. You'll see 4 images (2 with each eye), 2 of which should eventually
fuse. The white dot on top of both images should also fuse at the same time.
Next, the image in the center should slowly become clear (focussed) and you
can start exploring...

Crossed-eyes
|
An easy way is to hold a pen between the screen and your eyes so that it is
aligned with the white dots at the top of images when you close both (but not
at the same time !) the right and the left eye. Then look at the pen. The image
should then be fused in the background (but will probably be unfocussed in the
beginning). Relax without actually trying to look at the picture in the
beginning it will slowly become clear. The farthest yor are from the screen,
the easiest it should be (but with less visible details).

To get the full picture, your screen resolution should be adjusted to over
800x600 (pictures have a resolution of 520x680). However, you should get
the 3D effect (on a truncated area of the picture) even at lower resolutions.
The 3D effect should come rapidly and easily after wearing the glasses with
the red filter on the left eye and the blue filter on the right eyes, but it still may take a few seconds.
