Don't count on it. NTSC video is not friendly to anaglyph, and this is
especially true of industrial and consumer equipment. (It's a long story,
but I could give a summation if you're interested.) Basically, the ghosting
is terrible and it can't be fixed.

Maybe with non-NTSC, true RGB digital video, this will be possible.
