Anaglyph Text Generator

Create a stereo, 3D offset illusion—each character is duplicated and framed twice to mimic red/cyan separation: anaglyph → ⟦a⟧⟪a⟫⟦n⟧⟪n⟫⟦a⟧⟪a⟫⟦g⟧⟪g⟫⟦l⟧⟪l⟫⟦y⟧⟪y⟫⟦p⟧⟪p⟫⟦h⟧⟪h⟫, TEXT → ⟦T⟧⟪T⟫⟦E⟧⟪E⟫⟦X⟧⟪X⟫⟦T⟧⟪T⟫, 2025 → ⟦2⟧⟪2⟫⟦0⟧⟪0⟫⟦2⟧⟪2⟫⟦5⟧⟪5⟫.

Depth or flat, not both

Anaglyph text uses red/cyan color offsets (or layered glyphs) to simulate 3D stereoscopic rendering — the register is retro-cinematic, specifically the 1950s–80s red-and-blue-glasses era. The depth illusion depends on the color offset staying consistent; anything that adds a third color anywhere in the phrase breaks the two-channel stereo reading.

Depth-preserving moves: Wrap with uncolored ASCII-style [ ] or / \ (neutral framing that doesn't add a third hue); Symbol with ◐ or ◑ (half-tone lens cue, not color); Separator with plain space between words.

Depth-breaking moves: Symbol with any color emoji (third channel — stereo illusion collapses), Pattern, Mix Font (drops the red/cyan offset entirely), and colored-emoji Wrap. The style only works while the stereo is intact. Recipe: [ 3D V̶I̶S̶I̶O̶N̶ ].

Anaglyph — twin-frame echo per glyph (⟦x⟧⟪x⟫)

For every supported letter and digit, the map outputs a double image: first boxed by square brackets, then by angle brackets—literal pattern ⟦x⟧⟪x⟫. The result reads like a shifted layer stack, perfect for retro-3D vibes.

Use for

• Poster slugs, synthwave headers, and glitchy promo tags.
• Short usernames or collection labels that want depth and motion.
• Dates/codes on event cards where a stereo hint sells the theme.

How to shape it

1. Keep to 1–6 words; the twin frames are bold and best in short bursts.
2. ALL-CAPS reads most like signage; mixed case feels looser and playful.
3. Use normal word spacing so adjacent frames don’t collide.

Craft notes

• Pattern is literal ⟦x⟧⟪x⟫ for letters/digits; spaces remain spaces and punctuation passes through as typed.
• Bracket widths can vary slightly by platform—preview tight lockups.
• Great for accents; avoid full paragraphs to keep scan speed high.
