This chapter presents the use of stereo display, to visualize files in a stereoscopic way. For now, it is implemented and tested on AIX, IRIX and Solaris platforms. A graphics card and a monitor supporting stereo display are necessary, as well as specific glasses, either shutter glasses or anaglyph glasses. Stereo display is a method used to add depth to an image rendered on a 2D screen.
Stereographic glasses use liquid crystal shutters to expose each eye with the appropriate view.
Stereo mode is functional when you can see two slightly blurred images which, using the glasses, merge into one stereo image.
