It all started with CES 2010 and it has now covered a long way but still an immature technology. Yes, we are talking about the mighty 3D technology that is gearing up to entertain you at your comfort zone. The movie Avatar played an important role in popularising and mass acceptance of 3D technology. But like any other newbie technology its a costly affair. Having a 3D setup at home for yourself can burn your pockets and a real worth product is due. So, you better try out the below. You will be able to play games in stereo 3D.
So what is a 3D film / image technology :
Wikipedia defines 3-D this way:
So basically its an illusion created before your eyes that provides a view from two perspective angles. This can be achieved either by shooting the entire film using a costly two eyed camera capable of capturing 3D motion picture or by converting an ordinary 2D video by providing it an angled perspective after production. The former was used in Avatar and the latest Resident Evil movie. Its the ultimate experience you can achieve from a 3D technology. Using latter 3D stereo rendering only a small depth of field change can be achieved.
Another important un avoidable hardware in the 3D technology is the glasses used. Without which you cannot view and enjoy the 3-D videos. Based on the architecture even there exists different variety of 3D glasses. The first and the most cheapest glass format being the colored Anaglyph glass.
Some common types of 3D glasses are:
1) Anaglyph Red Blue glasses ( Cheap and common )

2) Active shutter glasses

3) Polarized 3D glasses (3D TV's Normally use these)

Being the cheapest option available and easily attainable 3D video rendered outputs we are concerned with the Anaglyph Red Blue 3D glasses here. Check out the below pic to understand how 3D technology using Anaglyph glasses work.
How Anaglyph ( Red/ Blue ) 3-D glasses work :

Convert your computer screen into a 3D display:
To setup 3D on your computer you will need two things:
1) iZ3D Driver ( Used to convert video to stereo Red/ Blue output ) Download free from [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] .
2) Anaglyph ( Red/ Blue) glass Can get one from eBay. Check this [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] .
Steps to setup 3D on your computer :
1) Download and install iZ3D driver. While installing make sure that the Anaglyph Output (free) is ticked.

2) Launch iZ3D and make sure you choose Red/Cyan as the output and click Apply.

The iZ3D stereo drivers can be quickly enabled and disabled by right clicking from system notification icons area.

Now when you start games you will see interface in red blue combination. Wear your anaglyph 3D glass and see the effect for yourself. You can also select custom profiles by going to Profiles in control center and select a predefined one. You change the stereoeffect by clicking : [+]=increase and [-]=decrease and convergence lets you choose convergence point (pulls or pushes the scene from you): [shift]+[+] pulls it and [shift]+[-] pushes it away.

So what is a 3D film / image technology :
Wikipedia defines 3-D this way:
3D (three-dimensional) film is a motion picture that enhances the illusion of depth perception. Derived from stereoscopic photography, a special motion picture camera system is used to record the images as seen from two perspectives and special projection hardware and/or eyewear are used to provide the illusion of depth when viewing the film.
So basically its an illusion created before your eyes that provides a view from two perspective angles. This can be achieved either by shooting the entire film using a costly two eyed camera capable of capturing 3D motion picture or by converting an ordinary 2D video by providing it an angled perspective after production.
