This page describes how to to use VLC to watch 3D video.

Generally there are three widely use 3D display technologies, all based on the principles of stereoscopic projection:

Anaglyph - red/green or red/blue images with glasses filtering out one colour or the other
Polarisation - technique used in cinemas, with two images projected with different polarisations, a silvered screen and polarised glasses
Also TV sets are capable of producing polarized light; they use interlaced displays for the left and right pictures, the even lines and the odd lines differently polarized (which effectively halves the vertical resolution in 3D mode)
Shutter Glasses - technique used by the new 3D televisions, where each alternating frame represent the left or right views.

VLC since 2.1.0 has built-in support for viewing 3D side-by-side (SBS) videos using anaglyph technology.
