That is, stereoscopic 3D images created by encoding different images through each eye using filters of different colors, typically red and cyan.<\/p>\n<p>After some tinkering, I got a feel for the process and decided to turn my new skills to some of the maps that I created in the past. Naturally, something involving topography was a perfect fit and you are seeing the result by <a href=\"http:\/\/rcmaps.com\/\">Ray Carlson &amp; Associates<\/a>&nbsp;&#8211; what I believe is the first 3d anaglyph map of Vancouver depicting the topography, city blocks, and historical stream system.<\/p>\n<p>If you have access to some 3D glasses (ones with a red and cyan lens), looking at the image will really give you a good sense of Vancouver&#8217;s terrain and how it interacts with its city blocks, streets and streams. Queen Elizabeth Park (the dominant hill in the centre of the city), is particularly powerful visually. As is the ridge and valley that slices across the West Side and the few flat areas of Vancouver &#8211; including the False Creek Flats to the south-east of the downtown peninsula. The terrain that carved by the stream system is also a very readable in 3-dimensions.<\/p>\n<p>I maximized the image size and kept things simple visually to not detract from the effect. Give it a try&#8230;.it&#8217;s pretty fun and interesting to see the city spring to life from the page or screen!<\/p>\n<p>Although I haven&#8217;t had much time to mess around move since creating this a while back, I hope to keep messing around whenever I get some free time.
