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 reflectio

Select a graphics card The SD2320W 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 Matrox® Parhelia™ line, the nVidia® Quadro™ FX line, and the 3Dlabs® Wildcat Realizm™ line have all been tes
