Red/Blue 3-D Glasses
Ideally,
a manufactured version would be best. These
glasses can be acquired at e.g., http://stereoscopy.com/3d-images/glasses.html, http://www.stereoscopy.com/reel3d/anaglyph-glasses.html.
However, if you do not have 3-D glasses at your disposal, here is a way
to make them.
Materials
needed
1.
One transparency that is clear, and does not scatter light (HP &
Epson Inkjet transparencies are sufficient).
2.
Blue
Broad Tip Dry-Erase Marker (we used Sanford Expo)
3.
Red
Broad Tip Dry-Erase Marker
4.
Scissors
5.
Template (Below)
Instructions
Print this template on a clear transparency.
With the blue dry-erase marker, color one eye using the broad edge
of the marker. Use caution
and try to be as precise as possible.
The goal is to make the color as homogeneous as possible.
Then, color the other eye red, in the same manner.
After this has been done, turn the transparency over to the other
side and repeat the same action as before.
This is necessary so that the color can be as dark as possible
to get the best effect when looking at the three-dimension chemical figures.
When both eyes have been colored on each side, cut the figure out.
Be careful not to touch the dry-erase ink, because it smudges easily! Now you have the 3-D glasses you have always wanted. [Note
if you print the colors onto the InkJet transparency (HP or Epson) the
image is not transparent.]
