Anaglyphs are not a perfect means of presenting stereo imagery, but I believe they represent the best available compromise between accessibility and quality. The only thing needed in order to view them is a pair of red/cyan glasses (red over the left eye, cyan over the right), and a willingness to see their virtues at least as clearly as their shortcomings. (A darkened room can be helpful, too.) If you can't find an old pair of paper viewing glasses lying around, anaglyph glasses can be purchased from several online vendors, including Berezin, Rainbow Symphony, and Reel 3-D.
