Abstract
Autostereograms are images that can be observed as “flat” 2D pictures or as a display of 3D objects without any extra apparatus. More than one million copies of books on this subject have been sold recently, but are autostereograms useful for computer graphics and scientific visualization? This short note provides some assistance for easily designing still and animated autostereograms, and tries to encourage reader involvement in finding new scientific applications.
