Abstract:
1. Stereoscopic device, comprising: an image directing assembly, having only two light inlets, including a first light inlet for receiving a first image and a second light inlet for receiving a second image, said first light inlet being spaced apart from said second light inlet; an image differentiator, differentiating between said first image and said second image; and a single image detector, having a plurality of discrete light sensors, defining: a first group of light sensors receiving said first image from said image differentiator to produce a first image electrical signal, and a second group of light sensors receiving said second image from said image differentiator to produce a second image electrical signal, said first image electrical signal and said second image electrical signal being logically separable, wherein said image directing assembly directs said first image to said single image detector via a common path, and wherein said image directing assembly directs said second image to said single image detector via said common path.
