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 SD2320W StereoMirror™ 
monitor, in particular, creates an unprecedented level of stereo/3D viewing 
quality and viewer comfort.  

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 

 

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.
