Stereoscopic 3D

Stereoscopy is any technique that creates the illusion of depth through the capture of two slightly different views that replicate human binocular vision. Because left and right human eyes are separated by a distinct distance, each eye perceives a unique view. Objects at different distances from the viewer appear to have different horizontal positions in each view. For example, objects close to the viewer will have significantly different horizontal positions in each view, while objects far from the viewer will have almost identical horizontal positions. The difference between each view is known as binocular or horizontal disparity. The horizontal disparity is measurable as an angle between two lines of sight, and the angle is ...
