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.
Barco: The Qualit
Chemists
analyze complex molecular
structures and simulate how new drugs
might interact with the human body.
Oil and Gas
specialists determine where to
drill by virtually exploring geoseismic data of
the earth below its surface.
Edutainment
is especially captivating when
one is immersed in a virtually created
imaginary world.
Engineers
experience new designs virtually
before they are actually produced.
