Stereoscopic Viewing - Planar SD2421W User Manual

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 SD2421W StereoMirror™ monitor, in
particular, creates an unprecedented level of stereo/3D viewing quality and viewer
comfort.
The StereoMirror monitor
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.
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
