I have a ton of 3D photos that I'd like to put online, and I was wondering what the concensus was on the best file formats to distribute them in. For instance, its a no brainer to publish everything as color anaglyph JPGs for folks who have red/blue glasses, but I have no idea what the file standard is for folks who have shutter glasses. I can easily support 2 or 3 different file formats if necessary, but I need to know what they are. Thanks in advance for any leads.

I'd say the de-facto standard is *.jps - stereo-JPEG. The nVidia driver and viewer can show jps-photos in shutter and anaglyph format.

Most stereo-tools can handle JPS and some can convert it to other formats. Creation of JPS is very simple, just put left and right image side-by-side into one JPG-image and later rename it to *.jps.
This can be done with standard software, you don't even need any stereo-compatible tool, although you may take a look at the 'stereo image factory'.

and the stereo JAVA applet http://www.stereofoto.de/sapplet/

The ideo of the Java applet is to put only one file format online (usually JPS) and the applet will convert it to the format the user needs. Exactly what you need.

However it wasn't updated since 2002, so I don't know how well it works with the latest browsers and java runtimes.
