You have not mentioned X-Eyed stereo pictures in which the right hand picture is put on the left of a pair and the left hand picture on the right. Just the same as Side by Side but crossed over. Like this pair:-

I find it helps to view the pair as below, so that the right eye can't see the right hand image, nor the left ditto - just look through the gap between your hands which should be about 2 - 3 inches:-

The eyes then see a virtual picture, in the middle, in full 3D, full colour and with no apparatus needed at all. Try it with the top picture pair. The two matching parts of the pictures should not be too far apart - say no more than the length of a ball point pen on a computer screen or you would need to be further away from the screen.

It doesn't do it for some people, for others it works fine and is completely 'portable' and takes no more display space than Side by Side pairs.

Took me a while as I progressed through B&W Anaglyphs with Red/Cyan specs, color Anaglyphs with DuBois correction, ColorCode3D with Amber/Blue specs, Side by Side with assorted viewers and finally, X-Eyed viewing. Most work was made with the Cha-Cha technique using standard, single lens cameras, but I do occasionally use a Fujifilm Real3D W3 camera for video.
