- We here at Intergraph have developed and are selling systems which
- display stereo models in a window or multiple windows, while the window
- borders and rest of the screen remain viewable through the stereo
- glasses. These systems replace traditional stereoplotters used by
- photogrammetrists; instead of placing the overlapping pair of
- photographs on stages, the photographs are scanned and brought in
- to the workstation to be oriented and then used in map compilation, etc.
- The systems can also be used to render CAD designs in stereo.
- Basically the way this works is that in stereo mode the whole
- workstation screen is interlaced with odd lines seen by one eye and
- even lines the other, but only within the stereo windows are the adjacent
- raster lines filled with separate left and right view data.
