Breaking the stereoscopic 3D paradox
Neil Schneider · ACM SIGGRAPH Computer Graphics · 2008
In CG graphics circles, there is often confusion about what the difference is between 3D and stereoscopic 3D (S-3D). In the graphics world, 3D is the volumetric 3D that includes X, Y, and Z depth information. Stereoscopic 3D refers to the image capture of a volumetric object or scene from two camera perspectives, and the ability to display and view it with true 3D depth using special 3D monitors, glasses, HMDs, or projectors.
