3D stereoscopic views

I have plotted a 3D curve in Matlab so I can have a look on it with different angles. I have used plot3 command. But now I have to customize it for 3D stereoscopic view (no matter if I am going to use active or passive glasses), could you please send me any link, links, etc... where I can find a way for it? Note, that even using 3D glasses (active or passive) I have to be able to move with the curve so I can look on it with different angles.

Thank you for any help!

I have played a little with two a image scheme to represent data as 3D.

I find that with the perspective view on, I can get very good results with about 5 degree rotation.

Here is some very simple code that demonstrates the idea.

% A quick demonstration of how to represent surface data as
% a stereo image pair.

% From Matlab documentation we use peaks
close all;
[X,Y,Z] = peaks(20);

figure('Position',[200 200 1000 400]);
subplot(1,2,1)
surf(X,Y,Z);
camproj('perspective');
view(45,30);
subplot(1,2,2);
surf(X,Y,Z);
camproj('perspective');
view(40,30);

Simply cross your eyes to view the stereoscopic view. Look at the left image with your right eye and vis versa. No glasses needed.

Good luck, David
