You are referring to an old site... I worked on both of them.

The eight images on the ABC site now (hidden in a CyberCity section no
longer linked from the ABC home page but still lurking on the abc server)
are from a promotional CD-ROM Tumble produced last fall. This was done as a
fun "extra" to the CD-ROM and as a feature for the website. I converted a
number of 2D photos to 3D in Photoshop... none were actually shot in stereo
unfortunately. At the time, 3D ABC glasses were printed with the URL and
the colors were the traditional red on the left, blue on the right. The ABC
printed glasses, CD-ROM and web site all matched. This all took place last
fall.

Old ABC-3D URL:  http://abc.com/cybercity/cc1.html

NEW ABC-3D URL: http://abc.com/pop/a.htm

The NEW ABC-3D site is not up yet, just a "coming soon" page. The new
images are done (as I mentioned previously) and will be posted at the same
time the glasses are released. They match the new ABC glasses which have
the red on the right. Why ABC switched over I'm not sure... maybe to make
sure you went out and got the new glasses at Wendys.

I hope this clears up the confusion. I think part of the reason ABC is
doing new 3D shows now is that the 3D promotion we did last fall on the
CD-ROM and web site were popular.
