'''Q-dos''' is [[Vivitar]] branded system for producing pseudo [[Stereo|stereo anaglyphic]] photos using a conventional 35mm SLR camera in combination with a specialized lens. The lens included a switch which would optionally insert half red, half cyan [[Dichroic_filter#Dichroic_filters|dichroic filters]] internally. The filters added color fringing in out-of-focus areas of the photo. The resulting photos, when viewed with red/cyan 3D glasses, produced a minimal 3 dimensional visual effect. When viewed without 3D glasses the photos showed only a faint red and cyan tints but otherwise looked normal. Shooting with a small aperture killed the effect due to the increased depth of field. The effect was most pronounced for macro photographs with shallow depth of field.<ref>[http://books.google.com/books?id=n9mzSmw-rC4C&lpg=PA118&dq=q-dos%203%20dimensional%20lens&pg=PA118#v=onepage&q=q-dos%203%20dimensional%20lens&f=false The Third Dimension: Vivid Vivitar, American Photo, Nov-Dec, 1992, p118]</ref>

Q-dos is Vivitar branded system for producing pseudo stereo anaglyphic photos using a conventional 35mm SLR camera in combination with a specialized lens. The lens included a switch which would optionally insert half red, half cyan dichroic filters internally. The filters added color fringing in out-of-focus areas of the photo. The resulting photos, when viewed with red/cyan 3D glasses, produced a minimal 3 dimensional visual effect. When viewed without 3D glasses the photos showed only a faint red and cyan tints but otherwise looked normal. Shooting with a small aperture killed the effect due to the increased depth of field. The effect was most pronounced for macro photographs with shallow depth of field.[1]

History

The Q-dos system was developed in 1991 and introduced in 1992 but was discontinued later due to lack of consumer interest.
