Stereoscopic Presentations - Taking the Difficulty out of 3D
Andrew J. Woods · 2000
A wide range of technology is now available for the projection of high-quality stereoscopic presentations. This paper reviews the software tools that are currently available for the generation of presentations containing stereoscopic images and the hardware that is available for the projection of those presentations. This paper also discusses the need for more tools to take the difficulty out of preparing and projecting stereoscopic presentations. Introduction Modern conference presentations commonly use electronic projection of a computer-generated slide-show and possibly the projection of (NTSC or PAL) video from video tape. A computer-generated slide-show can integrate simple text and graphics, still images and digital video files into a single presentation. All of these items can be presented in stereoscopic 3D. But we need to ask the question: why is it, with so many people working in stereoscopic imaging, that so few presentations are presented stereoscopically? The use of stere...
