Remember how I mentioned the other day that Korean researchers have developed a system for creating 3D e-books?
It appears Google Books has beaten them to the punch. Announced on the “Inside Google Books” blog this morning, Google Books has added anaglyphic (red-blue) 3D capability to its e-books, in the form of a “View in 3D” button at the top of the page.
This holds true not just for the example book linked in the blog post, but for any public-domain e-book on which I happened to search.
Kudos to Google for coming out with such a useful new way to read e-books! You have to admit, this really makes the words pop right off the page.
