<p>A stereoscopic viewing apparatus (11) and a related method for providing a three-dimensional effect for the viewer (15) based on a side-by-side display on a conventional video screen (19) of related left and right images (17L, 17R) that are each horizontally compressed, and a stereoscopic video recording for providing such a side-by-side display. The apparatus transmits the displayed left image (17L) to the viewer's left eye and the displayed right image (17R) to the viewer's right eye, while horizontally expanding the compressed images and returning them to their original, natural proportions. The displayed side-by-side images (17L, 17R) both extend along the screen's entire vertical length, such that a three-dimensional effect is provided having the same two-dimensional proportions as the conventional video screen.</p> |
