Stereoscopic Imaging has captivated the public since its inception in 1851. It is a powerful visual illusion that results when each eye sees a slightly different image. Our brain is tricked into believing that small lateral displacements in the position of objects in these two images imply depth. Although we know that the image we perceive is unreal, we find it fascinating.
 
Stereoscopic images provide spatial information that is critical to many domains: medical imaging, surgery, geology, CAD, product design and tele-operation. The introduction of low cost, high quality digital video consumer products and the growing availability of stereoscopic displays are opening new opportunities previously too costly to be realized. The ability to apply enormous computing power to transform streams of digital video data enable us to create new solutions and to create new systems. There are moments when new technologies open doors and enable us to make incredible advances: in the realm of stereoscopic imaging, that moment is now.
