Addition of stereo video support to GStreamer (http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/). New GStreamer plugins were created to create stereo video from various sources and to display in different modes like anaglyph. More information can be found on the project's blog : http://gitorious.org/video3d/pages/Home.Development was done mainly in C, but also used MMX/SSE assembly through the use of Orc (Oil Runtime Compiler, where Oil stands for optimized inner loops).
