What is blue and red 3D called?

An anaglyph 3D effect is a form of stereoscopy that creates two distinct red and blue images to produce a single 3D stereo image. Instead of binoculars, viewers see the effect through a pair of glasses. By using red-blue 3D glasses, you can view the stereoscopic 3D effect in anaglyph images and anaglyph movies.

Why is 3D red and blue?

Using a red and blue lens ‘tricks’ the brain into seeing a 3D image. Each eye sees a slightly different image. The eye covered by the red lens will perceive red as “white” and blue as “black,” and vice versa for the other eye. This disparity mimics what each eye would see in reality, as with most 3D technology.
