3D Books! - Google Books Now Offers Digital Books in a New Dimension



These days, 3D seems to be everywhere. From Hollywood blockbusters to LCD televisions, those iconic cardboard glasses seem to be everywhere, even on President Obama. Our friends at YouTube released a 3D experiment, and NASA released 3D images from the Mars rovers.


This got a few of us on the Google Books team to thinking: why not offer our books in 3D? So we've done exactly that. Now, when you visit a book, you'll see a new option: "View in 3D".




Click it and you'll see the page as an anaglyphic image. You'll need a pair of red-cyan 3D glasses and you'll be able to start reading in 3D!
