[comp.graphics.visualization] Stereographics, autostereoscopic techniques

gerfi@zgdvda.zgdvda.uucp (Norbert Gerfelder) (11/20/90)

This mail concerns the SIGGRAPH '90 course-notes no.6 on the topic of
STEREOGRAPHICS. There was an article from C.R. Jones & A.P. McLaurin 
(University of South Carolina, Columbia) about "VISIDEP - 3D IMAGING 
THROUGH ALTERNATING PAIRS".

I have several questions about VISIDEP (question 1, 2) and some others, 
in general, about stereographics (questions 3-5):

1.) Has somebody used the VISIDEP-technique in connection with 
    computer-displays and in which way have you implemented it?

2.) Has somebody used VISIDEP for computer generated images? In which 
    way have you generated the alternating pairs and for what kind of 
    scenes and applications it is neccessary to use (ex: volume 
    visulalization?, animations?, etc.)?

3.) What kind of scenes are neccessary to be displayed stereoscopic and
    in which way you can avoid some errors in displaying, for example
    double pictures for scenes and objects which are large and cannot 
    be displayed with blurriness?

4.) Which subjects are really useful to be displayed in a stereoscopic
    way in relation to other depth cues like perspective, lightning,
    shading etc., especially which kinds of computer animations?

5.) Has somebody used stereographics in modelling and rendering and in
    which way you have implemented and used it?

I am interested in all kind of informations about these subjects like
references, articles, own experiences etc.
Please reply by mail, I will summarize the informations and send it back 
to News.
