Understanding Stereoscopic Television and its Challenges
Stereoscopic television can be regarded as a limited subset of “natural vision.” It can provide an exciting viewing experience, but it has constraints. This article reviews the relationship between the process of natural vision, the “object wave,” and stereoscopic television. The main elements of the creation of space image points from screen image points in stereoscopic television are outlined. From this, examples of the limitations of stereoscopic television are described: the potential convergence-accommodation conflict, infinity separation, viewing distance, and depth resolution. Conclusions for program production and the future use of stereoscopic television are drawn.
