Abstract

Anaglyphs are a technique that allows for the visualization of three-dimensional optical images of various types of objects, enabling a more comprehensive appreciation of objects and works of national and university historical and heritage value than traditional photography.
The Physics Department of the Technological University of Havana José Antonio Echeverría (CUJAE) has successfully implemented the anaglyph technique in Cuba, contributing to the dissemination of our heritage and that of CUJAE itself, as a result of its University Extension work. The CUJAE Anaglyph Working Group was created with the aim of integrating Biomedical Engineering students as part of their scientific work within the Physics curriculum. Currently, it is integrated into the Chair of University Cultural Heritage and the institutional research project, Conservation of University Cultural Heritage.
Having the complete history of the development of anaglyphs at Cujae, which is the country's leading institution, allows us to preserve and disseminate the research results obtained over more than 15 years, with an important outreach component and applications in heritage dissemination and in teaching physics in engineering.
