Technology / Research / Theory

Holbrook paper. A site introducing the lay reader to the general advantages of stereoscopic display.
Stereoscopy: Where Did It Come From? Where Will It Lead? by Harold A. Layer (originally published in: EXPOSURE: 17:3 Fall 1979, pages 34-48. ) Theoretical musings on the origins, aesthetic bases, and future of stereoscopic art forms.
HASD paper. Describes very promising autostereoscopic display technology. Instead of the lenticular/prismatic/barrier screen commonly used to separate the multiplexed left and right images, with this new monitor, the images are directed via rear projection onto a holographic screen. This makes for much higher resolution, plus easier real time control of image placement, with the possibility of realtime control over multiple viewing zones for multiple observers.
Stereoscopic 3D Virtual Reality Homepage. Christoph Bungert's review site. Complete market surveys of 3D-glasses, VR-helmets, and 3D-Software. Frequently updated information on computer and video stereoscopic products and market developments.
RealityVision Display. Autostereoscopic video monitor.
Dimension Technologies. Autostereoscopic video monitor.
Stereoscopic Displays and Applications. SPIE's annual conference of VR researchers, includes hefty dose of stereoscopy related papers. Proceedings are indispensable to see who's doing what, and how well it works.
Basic Technologies to Support The Broadcasting of The Future #2. On broadcasting stereoscopic content.
Stereo Vision by Coherence-Detection. Software and hardware under development by Rolf Henkel at the University of Bremen. The technology will generate intermediate images from a single stereo pair source. This could be of great value to stereoscopic HDTV, as only two image streams need be transmitted, even though the display (receiver) may need multiple images to generate a high quality three dimensional picture. The technology would allow the display to generate the necessary intermediate views on the fly.
Alioscopy. An interesting site describing single lens stereo video system.
