3D browsing with chrome

How does it work?
Using technology known as stereoscopy, CADIE brings you the web in 3D. Stereoscopy provides the illusion of depth by presenting slightly different images to each eye. You'll need to use our printable glasses in order to experience the web in 3D.

Why did you create this?
CADIE acknowledged the disconnect between the online world and the real world (one being three dimensional and the other two dimensional). In order to narrow this gap, she created a way to access the web in 3D.

Does it work on all sites?
Yes. We have developed technology that converts any existing web page into anaglyph format in real time.

Does it work for everyone?
The majority of people will be able to view the web in 3D immediately. Certain individuals with accommodative disorders (like Presbyopia) may have trouble viewing pages properly.

Figures this would be an April Fool's day joke.

Didn't seem very realistic.

lol!

I'm a bit ashamed to confess this, but I actually downloaded both the glasses's PDF and installed the chrome addon, I was ready to print the glasses when moments before I hit the print button I happened to wonder to myself how the heck was I suppose to see through the glasses after I print them on regular A4 paper.

Only then I remembered on which day it was.

EDIT: The addon actually splits blue and red of everything on the screen, one day I've got to check if a real red-blue glasses would make this work after all.
