Stereoscopic Viewing
We live in a three-dimensional world. The human visual system can process
the slightly different views of the world and translate the views into the
perception of depth. This process is called stereopsis.
In the last two centuries much effort has been devoted to the reproduction of
depth perception, primarily with photography and more recently with
computer graphic images.
Stereoscopic/3D viewing can help a viewer make faster, more accurate, and
more enjoyable interpretations of imagery. The SD2020 StereoMirror™
monitor, in particular, creates an unprecedented level of stereo/3D viewing
quality and viewer comfort.
Stereo viewing is useful for
the following applications:
• Photogrammetry and
remote sensing
• Geospatial image analysis
• Geophysical modeling
• Molecular modeling
• Computer games
• Oil and gas exploration
• Architecture and mechanical
design
• Stereo photography or
videography
• Medical imaging (not as yet
FDA 510(k) approved)
• Surgical planning
• Teaching of anatomy
• Simulation
• Complex data analysis
For some individuals, prolonged use of any stereoscopic monitor
may cause discomfort. Take a break from stereo viewing if you
sense eye fatigue. Individuals who are unaccustomed to using
stereoscopic 3D monitors may require a period of adaptation.
