Stereoscopy and the Human Visual System

Stereoscopic displays have become very important for many applications, including operation of remote devices, medical imaging, surgery, scientific visualization, computer-assisted design, and more. But the most significant and exciting development is the incorporation of stereo technology into entertainment: specifically, cinema, television, and video games. It is important in these applications for stereo 3D imagery to create a faithful impression of the 3D structure of the scene being portrayed. It is also important that the viewer is comfortable and does not leave the experience with eye fatigue or a headache. And that the presentation of the stereo images does not create temporal artifacts like flicker or motion judder.
