Have you ever wanted to “spice up” a presentation with a futuristic feel, or give a lecture that really captures your student’s attention? This tutorial describes how to construct 3D images that literally appear to “pop out of the screen”, using a commonly known technique called linear light polarization. Stereographics are found in nearly all virtual reality projection systems, and simple stereographic displays can easily be constructed from equipment available on most college campuses. During this presentation, attendees will learn the basics of stereo viewing, shown how to construct a simple stereographic display system, taught how to generate both static and dynamic stereo images, and discuss several applications of 3D displays in a college environment.
