changing the rgb for stereo images

Friends, I have a glass with a red-cyan color. When i use the Chimera stereo mode (red-cyan) under view controls. I still see some ghost images. I would like to know if there is any possibility to add a features something like a box where i can give the rgb (the light frequencies) values of the images to match my glass. Thank you, Bala -- C.

Hi Bala, It is not possible for for chimera to set the RGB frequencies, those are determined by your display. But there are several things that can be done to reduce and/or eliminate the ghosting you see: 1. Don't use any saturated colors: you'll get the best effect with gray-scale images. 2. Get better red-cyan glasses: In general, paper glasses are blurry compared to plastic glasses. But some plastic glasses do a better job than others -- you'll need to do some research. 3. Reduce the amount of parallax in the image -- have (most) everything behind the focal plane. Reducing the eye separation might help too. 4. Not likely, but you might need to turn off any color correction that your display is doing. Chimera does not use any color management, so an image in just the red channel should only be shown with the display's red light, but is possible that your display or operating system is remapping the colors to match a particular ICC color profile, e.g., the sRGB profile, and that might cause ghosting. The effect should be too small to notice though. HTH, Greg P.S. Researching this I came across magenta-green stereo which is supposed to be better than red-cyan stereo. Since you can buy magenta-green glasses, I will add support into the daily build. Note that magneta-green are right-left colors, unlike red-cyan which are left-right colors.
