Stereoscopy

Stereoscopy is about creating stereoscopic views of a virtual environment, which suck the mind in and make it seem as if the person is actually standing in the VR, as far as their eyes can tell.

Stereoscopy at its heart is about delivering in pairs. Most of us possess two eyes, and for those who do not, work is continually underway to create artificial replacements. These two eyes sit in general, about two inches apart, measuring from mid point to mid point. This means that particularly for close objects, each sees a different angle, and thus a different view.

When the two images are combined we gain a 3D, spatial perspective of the object. If this spatial location sense is missing, i.e. by delivering the exact same image to both eyes, then our sense of spatial location ceases to function. Realism and believability drop through the floor, and interaction becomes a whole lot harder.

Stereoscopic Display Methods
Visual stereoscopy comes in many flavours. Depending on how the video feed is constructed, and whether or not it was originally designed with stereoscopy in mind, the technology used to deliver a slightly different positional viewpoint to the eye, differs greatly.

Stereoscopic Broadcasting Begins
With the hubbub surrounding cinema 3.0, and 3D stereoscopy in the cinemas, it seemed only a matter of time before stereoscopy as the next great buzzword of the passive entertainment industry (broadcast networks) started to filter into broadcasting.

3D Visual Processing Centre Identified
Detecting 3D is a trait of stereoscopy. Its why humans tend to have two eyes, two different viewpoints create a degree of parallax, and allow us to perceive in 3D. However, motion parallax and movement in all three dimensions is harder to discern than simple 3D structure.

True 3D Endoscopy
Whilst endoscopes and laproscopic surgery are truly a revolutionary way of peering inside the body and performing complex operations from tiny incisions, the size of the endoscope has always traditionally limited them to single cameras and flat displays. But, with a little lateral thinking, even a single camera can produce stereoscopy.
