Re: [photo-3d] How best to present stereo on the web?

[Gromit <gromit@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I can appreciate your difficulty with JPS.  My Mac based audience has a 
simmilar problem.  But I like having the JPS format, because it offers me 
the ability to present images larger than the smallest screen used by my 
audience.  With a JPS viewer, my readers with 640x480 screens (don't laugh, 
please) can scale down and still see an 800x600 stereo pair.

I could replace the two table cells to the right of the thumbnail with one 
cell containing something like:
+  Large anaglyph (124K)
+  Small anaglyph (75K)
+  Free view
And have the last entry link to an image specific page containing just the 
HTML to present the three JPGs.  Since the image files are already on the 
server, the only extra space is for the HTML to present a couple of them at 
once.  It shouldn't take too much time to generate that for each method.

Contrary to my usual method of letting the reader do their own window 
management, I currently have the anaglphs open in a new browser 
window.  How does this affect you?
