When generating a pair of stereoscopic images, it’s useful to have a way of testing the disparity and overall quality without having to put on an HMD device. ImageMagick provides a set of tools that allow performing a wide range of image processing. Amongst other things it allows creating Red-Cyan anaglyphs of stereo image pairs.
The tool is very intuitive to use:
$ composite -stereo 0:0 0.png 1.png anaglyph.png
Below, you can see a stereo anaglyph of left and right eye images I generated using my own renderer XTracer, and fused together using ImageMagick.
Red-Cyan stereo glasses are required to properly view the stereo image.
