Because Asheron's Call is a 3D environment, it's easy to make a stereoscopic image that with some training, can be viewed in full 3D without any special equipment.

The idea is capturing two images of the same object or scene from the viewpoint of each eye. This can be accomplished either by side stepping a very short distance and taking another screen shot, or if you're looking at yourself, you can pivot the camera slightly to the left or right.

Crop the images to a reasonable size and then put them side by side. Now you have a stereoscopic image.

You view the image by crossing your eyes slightly until you see three images (the two real ones plus a combination of the two in the middle). Try focusing on the one in the middle and ignore the images on the sides. With a little practice you can learn to quickly focus and the middle image will be crystal clear and in full 3D.

Here's an example image:
