The software to assemble the photos is also free, Stereophotomaker. It allows you to make red/cyan anaglyphs, or free view pairs (parallel or cross-eye), it even has settings for shutter-glasses (page-flipping or interlaced).

Also a free add-on for stereophotomaker is autopano and it helps you align your right and left images, and corrects for any differences between the lenses of the twin cameras (it’ll even correct if you toe-in a camera). Far better than manually aligning.

I have a bunch of cross-eye 3D images that I took this way and most have come out quite nicely: http://www.web-nine.com/gallery/3D

Of course shots like a guy in mid-air are cool but I’d be much more interested in some tech that would let us view 3D easily without crappy red/blue glasses or crossing our eyes.
