What is Stereoscopic?
Stereoscopic media, when displayed and viewed correctly, provides the visual illusion of physical depth to a three-dimensional object or scene while using a flat screen or projection surface. To display stereoscopic media, two slightly different images are displayed; one image is displayed exclusively to the left eye, and the other image is displayed exclusively to the right eye. If done correctly, the differences between these two images are interpreted by the brain and the viewer perceives the displayed media in three-dimensions in front of and behind a flat surface, when the surface itself is only two dimensions.
