Problem

What is used to view the Stereo images in 3D.
When rendering a view or saving an image, there is a "Stereo" Shading Type; what is that used for.

Solution

Once an image is saved to a Stereo image, the image can be viewed with special glasses called "Anaglyph 3D glasses". They are very similar to the glasses one would use when viewing a 3D movie in the movie theaters of years past.

Bentley used to, but no longer supplies these glasses.
They can be purchaced from a third party. A simple internet search for "Anaglyph 3D glasses" will yield good results.
