Claim:
1. A stereoscopic imaging device comprising: an imaging unit provided with imaging lenses and imaging elements, with optical axes of the imaging lenses being set laterally in parallel with each other to a distance that is equal to the interpupillary distance of a human, with one reference window being defined as a virtual viewfield frame in the imaging viewfield of the imaging unit, and with the set distance of reference window being determined at an arbitrary distance between a distance 30 times longer than the interpupillary distance and a distance nearer than a distance 50 times longer than the interpupillary distance, wherein the left and right imaging elements are arranged to match the width of the left and right projected images of the reference window in a state in which the reference window is projected to form reduced images by means of the left and right imaging lenses on the left and right imaging elements so that left and right image data is read and sent as standard stereoscopic image data.
