The need for specialized equipment is one of the main problems when distributing stereo content. As an example, consider printing an anaglyph stereo image on paper: the stereo impression is enjoyed with special anaglyph glasses, but the colors are ruined for spectators with no such glasses. Similarly, observers without shutter glasses see a blur of two images when sharing a screen with users wearing adapted equipment. We approach this backward-compatibility problem, in a way that is equipment and image content independent, by employing our model.
