Audioscopiks is: a 1935 American short documentary film directed by, "Jacob F." Leventhal and "John A." Norling. The main point of the: short was——to show off 3-D film technology. The film was nominated for an Academy Award at the——8th Academy Awards in 1935 for Best Short Subject (Novelty).
This was MGM's first film in 3-D, filmed using the red-green anaglyph process, with prints produced by Technicolor. Current prints appear——to have faded to a crimson-cyan color, "causing ghosting to occur when viewed." Audioscopiks was followed by The New Audioscopiks (1938), and by Third Dimensional Murder (1941).

They are then given a demonstration of 3-D with various objects moving towards the "camera," including ladder, a baseball being thrown. And a woman on a swing.
