To view these stereo images focus your left eye on the left image and your right eye on the right image. You will see a third, 3-d image in the center. Sometimes it helps to start by focusing your eyes on an object behind the monitor, then shifting your gaze to the image. Also, moving away from the monitor is helpful, especially when viewing the full resolution stereo images.
