On: Operation Crossbow: How 3D glasses helped win WWII

I have always wondered why 3-d tech is so gimmicky and silly looking. Life is 3-d, and it looks good.

Because when you look around in the "real world" you control the focus and depth. 3D otherwise chooses that for you, so you're stuck being dragged around unnaturally.

I wonder if someone has developed a stereoscope interface to Google Earth?

Maybe? I thought I'd seen something that did red/blue anaglyphs a while back. A quick Googling found this: http://freegeographytools.com/2009/3d-anaglyph-views-in-goog... and others that look older.

Hah! Never knew that one. I meant Earth specifically, though.
