3D Photography
Swirsky is known for his work in 3D digital photography. He has developed algorithms for generating full-color anaglyph images from stereo pairs that can be viewed through red/cyan glasses. A popular freeware program, Callipygian 3D is widely used and has been featured on TechTV's The Screen Savers show several times, with Swirsky demonstrating its use. The popularity of anaglyph images from Mars, and in anaglyph movies like Spy Kids 3D introduced new people to the anaglyph technique. Swirsky's software played a major role in letting people create their own anaglyph images.

Famous quotes containing the word photography:
“If photography is allowed to stand in for art in some of its functions it will soon supplant or corrupt it completely thanks to the natural support it will find in the stupidity of the multitude. It must return to its real task, which is to be the servant of the sciences and the arts, but the very humble servant, like printing and shorthand which have neither created nor supplanted literature.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
