The success of the Chandrayaan-3 mission knows no limits! In another big step forward, the Pragyan robot came up with a new way to see the Moon: in a 3D effect. Using anaglyph technology, the way to see things on the moon’s surface in three dimensions.
With this method, stereo or multiple views of an object are used to create a 3D effect. This gives a more realistic view of the item. The Indian Space Research Organisation’s (ISRO) Laboratory for Electro-Optical Systems (LEOS) made a technology called NavCam that the rover used to make these anaglyph pictures.
Using both left and right pictures and then putting them in different color channels gives the Moon a 3D look in this method.
“The picture on the left is in the red channel, while the picture on the right is in the blue and green channels, making cyan. “The stereo effect, which gives the impression of three dimensions, is caused by the difference in perspective between these two images,” ISRO wrote on X (which used to be Twitter).
Chandrayaan-3 Mission:
Anaglyph is a simple visualization of the object or terrain in three dimensions from stereo or multi-view images.
The Anaglyph presented here is created using NavCam Stereo Images, which consist of both a left and right image captured onboard the Pragyan… pic.twitter.com/T8ksnvrovA

In addition to being a visual treat, the latest imaging technology will let experts learn more about things on Earth than ever before.

ISRO also suggested using red and cyan-colored 3D glasses to fully see the depth and detail of these pictures. Both of the glasses’ colors will block out the red and cyan channels, making it possible for the picture to be seen in three dimensions.
ISRO’s Space Applications Centre (SAC) is in charge of putting the data for these pictures together.
