This sounds very much like a program available in software stores called "3D VR"
or something similar. It's a viewer program for "computer 3D" models which
allows them to be rotated and moved about in space. It is capable of creating
anaglyphs of the model which can also be moved about, and I THINK, but am not
sure, it can also generate alternate-field images. It functions solely as a
viewer, not as any kind of graphics creation program. It was demonstrated at a
recent meeting of the movie division of the Stereo Club of Southern California,
and the consensus was that it was mildly amusing, but had virtually no practical
value.
