3D/stereo glasses?

What kind of glasses do I need to view 3D/stereo photos or videos?

Where can I buy them?

No easy answer. There are several ways to see 3D images. Staring at them side-by-side (Left eye-Right eye) works, or crosseyed (Right eye-Left)--as is typical of this forum. The other easy way to see 3D is anaglyph 3D (two images-left and right eye images are combined with two colors--most often red and blue), this requires red and blue glasses. If you have a 3D TV, then you need specific glasses required for that TV--either shutterglasses or passive polarized glasses.

What are you trying to look at and through what medium?

Edit: You can find 3D glasses on Amazon--just search for them.

Thanks for your reply.

I noticed there are 3D images online and wondered  what I need to view them.  However, I have decided to try out Google Cardboard VR instead.   I bought an inexpensive ($30) VR headset from Amazon.    Waiting for it to arrive.   Seems there is a lot of VR content on YouTube.   I have an Apple iPhone 6S plus.    And thinking of picking up a Lucid VR camera that I can take and video VR on vacation.
