Red/Blue Glasses
The simplest way to view 3D is with red/blue (cyan) glasses. They give a nice sense of depth, cost very little, and work with any kind of screen. Red/blue glasses shift the colors of the image, and not everyone finds this comfortable to watch. The red/blue videos below are in grayscale and have stronger depth than the color versions, but you lose the color.
Phone Viewers
Many viewers use a modern smart phone screen to show 3D images. They usually look best with a non-distorted side-by-side image. That is different from the "squished" half side-by-side (HSBS) format that some 3D TV sets and VR headsets use. When the original material is shot or rendered in 16:9, phone viewers always lose a little viewing space.
The most common phone viewer is the Google Cardboard. It has good lenses and is inexpensive. You can watch a Vimeo video with it, or if you use a VR media app like the free "Skybox," you can play the Half SBS version and the app will format it correctly. These apps also work with other clip-on viewers and add viewing and navigation options that make them well worth installing. When using Skybox and some other VR apps, you connect your phone to your computer and use iTunes to transfer the file to your phone. You can also stream files from your local network if you have a media server on your home PC.
3D TV Sets, Projectors, VR Headsets
Depending on your setup, you may be able to stream 3D media from Vimeo if you have a smart TV or have your TV connected to your computer. If you have a media server or a TV with a built-in media player, you can download a full copy of my videos below. These downloads are meant for viewers who already know which format they need and how to play it. The Oculus Go will play Full SBS files once they are loaded onto the headset. My favorite setup is a Roku Pro with a flash drive, playing an interpolated 4K Half SBS file. That file is available below; it uses the full vertical resolution and half of the horizontal resolution (the original files were two 1080p streams). My 2016 LG 4K sets play this format perfectly from a flash drive plugged right into the TV using the built-in media player.
