Stereoscopy(The Science Behind 3D) By: Pradatta Adhikary Pathikrit Modak Subhashis Pal Avishek Das Avijit Sarkar
What is Stereoscopy ? Stereoscopy (also called stereoscopic or 3-D imaging) refers to a technique for creating or enhancing the illusion of depth in an image by presenting two offset images separately to the left and right eye of the viewer. Both of these 2-D offset images are then combined in the brain to give the perception of 3-D depth.
Stereoscopy Vs. Normal Image Ina normal image both of our eye sees the same picture But in a stereoscopic Image our two eyes sees two slightly different images, and that’s how illusion of three-dimensional depth is created.
Modern 3D Technology Modern 3D technology is divided into several procedure : With lenses: Anaglyphic 3D (with passive red-cyan lenses) Polarization 3D (with passive polarized lenses) Alternate-frame sequencing (with active shutter lenses) Head-mounted display (with a separate display positioned in front of each eye, and lenses used primarily to relax eye focus) Without lenses: Auto stereoscopic displays, sometimes referred to commercially as Auto 3D.
AnaglyphDisadvantage Color depth is absent due to colored filter glass.
Polarization 3D Used in modern 3D Movie theater.

New trends in Electronics market New 3D revival YouTube 3D Channel “After Toy Story, there were 10 really bad CG movies because everybody thought the success of that film was CG and not great characters that were beautifully designed and heart- warming. Now, youve got people quickly converting movies from 2D to 3D, which is not what we did. Theyre expecting the same result, when in fact they will probably work against the adoption of 3D because theyll be putting out an inferior product. ” —James Cameron
