Stereoscopy: Theory and Practice.

Paul Bourke, Peter Morse;

full day

This workshop will cover a wide range of topics related to stereoscopy from both a theoretical and practical point of view. It will include a comparative discussion of the technology both now and in the future as well as cover how one creates effective stereoscopic content.

Specific topics that will be covered are: the creation of synthetic stereoscopic pairs, still photography and video capture, viewing/projection options and their relative merits, the limitations inherent in the current technology, some of the new and future possibilities for stereoscopic viewing/projection, and how to create content exhibiting minimal eye strain. A stereoscopic viewing system will be available to illustrate the various principles and to show examples of work from practitioners in the field.
