What are the basic 3D-image types for stereoscopic software?
There are usually 3 types of images used in stereoscopic software (not to be confused with stereoscopic display types and methods): line-sequential image: the two images (stereo pairs) are woven into each other in alternating lines and can be watched with shutterglasses using interlace, line-blanking, software-page-flipping or hardware-page-flipping methods. Systems like VR-Joy, EyeFX, H3D which have line-blanker devices and most stereo-HMDs are able to make use of this format without leaving standard video mode and without any additional driver software. over-under image: the two images are displayed separately one above the other and transformed by a sync-doubler shutterglasses controller into a flipping image, without any additional driver software. 2 seperate full-resolution images: the two images are stored seperately in the graphics memory and are never shown on the screen simultaneously, but sequentially. This format can be watched with shutterglasses or certain HMDs using softw
