Anaglyph 3D - Applications - Science and Mathematics

Science and Mathematics

Anaglyph image of the protein DHFR. Anaglyph image of the Ribosome.

Three dimensional display can also be used to display scientific data sets, or to illustrate mathematical functions. Anaglyph images are suitable both for paper presentation, and non-moving video display. They can easily be included in science books, and viewed with cheap anaglyph glasses.

Also, chemical structures, particularly for large systems, can be difficult to represent in two dimensions without omitting geometric information. Therefore most chemistry computer software can output anaglyph images, and some chemistry textbooks include them.

Today, there are more advanced solutions for 3D imaging available, like shutter glasses together with fast monitors. These solutions are already extensively used in science. Still, anaglyph images provide a cheap and comfortable way to view scientific visualizations.

Famous quotes containing the words science and, science and/or mathematics:

    If you have science and art,
    You also have religion;
    But if you don’t have them,
    You better have religion.
    Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

    He who would do good to another must do it in Minute Particulars:
    General Good is the plea of the scoundrel, hypocrite, and flatterer,
    For Art and Science cannot exist but in minutely organized Particulars.
    William Blake (1757–1827)

    I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy.
    John Adams (1735–1826)
