Sirds lets you create Single Image Random Dot Stereogram (SIRDS) or Single Image Stereogram (SIS) from depth map and pattern images.

SIRDS or SIS is an autostereogram which does not require any equipment to view a three-dimensional scene.

* Stereogram algorithm licensed from W.A. Steer. Visit www.techmind.org for technical details.

Free sample depth map and pattern images are available at www.katsurashareware.com and forum.katsurashareware.com.

Here are some key features of "Sirds":
Generate a "wall-eyed" (divergent) or "cross-eyed" (convergent) stereogram
Customizable dimensions (resolution, observer distance, maximum depth, and eye separation)
Hidden-surface removal
Center to both sides method to minimize the distortion
Oversampling to give smooth depth levels
Stereogram viewing guide marks
Random Dot pattern generator
Supported depth map and pattern image file types: PNG, TIFF, JPEG, BMP, GIF, PICT, etc.
AppleScript scripting.

What's New:
Added "cross-eyed" (convergent) stereogram support.
