1. A stereoscopic viewing system for manipulating an object by a user, said object being situated in a first space and a manipulation being provided in a second space which includes a manipulation space, said system being characterized in that it includes:
a haptic system situated in the first and second space so that the user performs the manipulation in the second space which is translated into an equivalent manipulation on the physical object in the first space, wherein the manipulation of the object in the first space can be felt by the user in the second space; and an optical system for providing to the user an image of the equivalent manipulation in the first space, the image being formed in spatial coherence with the manipulation space in the second space, said image being obtained by a superposition of a right side image provided by a first video capture device and a left side image provided by a second video capture device, wherein the right side image is directly transmitted to the user's right eye and the left side image is directly transmitted to the user's left eye.
