The Principle of 3D Imaging
Due to the 4-6 cm (1.6-2.3 inch) separation
between the eyes, each eye has a slightly
different viewpoint. The images from these
two different viewpoints are sent to the
brain and this difference, which is termed
parallax, is interpreted as depth.
Stereoscopic projection is based on the same
principle: two slightly different images are
projected onto the screen and the imaging
system must enable the left eye to see only the
left eye image, and the right eye to see only
the right image.
Barco's quality of separation guarantees
that the images of the two eyes are separated
and displayed in such a way that the final 3D
images appear fully focused and not
blurred.
