This is really very cool. Those anaglyphs (red blue cyan green) I suppose, would be great to give us an idea of how 3d would look like. There were a few gave dev API (e.g. 3dstate) based on opengl that provided this functionality so have first hand experience of this type of 3d. Great for demos, but not so much for continued long term use, there are some physiological concerns to consider, headaches might result for spending a long time using anaglyph glasses. I used to obtain best results if the scene is projected on a wall rather than watching on a desktop.
