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 in

StereoMirror™ Technology A StereoMirror™ monitor consists of two AMLCD (Active Matrix Liquid Crystal Display) units, oriented at a 110º angle and mounted on a specially designed stand. A passive beamsplitter mirror bisects the angle formed between the two monitors, and there is a fine mechanical adjustment for the mirror angle between the two displays. One side of the glass mirror has a reflective coating, and the other side has an anti-reflective coating to minimize secondary reflection

A block diagram describing the process of driving a StereoMirror™ monitor with a computer is shown in the illustration below. The left eye and right eye images are sent to their respective AMLCDs independently and without any special treatment (with the exception of accommodating for the fact that the upper monitor is seen in a mirror; see discussion below). Presenting the stereo pair of images requires a setup or software application that accommodates dual-monitor stereo viewing. No ad

Select a graphics card The SD2220W unit requires a dual-output graphics card to drive the two monitors with a DVI signal. For professional applications that use OpenGL quad-buffered stereo, the graphics card should support OpenGL stereo as well. Typically, the two monitors should be in clone mode for these applications. There are several compatible graphics card families. The NVIDIA Quadro FX line and the Matrox Parhelia line have all been tested and are compatible for OpenGL stereo
