Using Stereoscopic Viewing

You can set up stereoscopic viewing that describes how we use both eyes, each with a slightly different perspective, to recreate the way we naturally see depth.

Before you begin: For anaglyph rendering effects, you only require anaglyph glasses. Skip steps 1 to 4 that are relevant only for active or passive stereoscopic effects.
  1. Set up the appropriate hardware configuration.
  2. Set up the graphic adaptor configuration for stereoscopic display.
  3. Activate the Enables stereoscopic display option in the preferences.
  4. Select the stereoscopic mode.
    • activates active or passive stereoscopic effects in the current view.
    • activates anaglyph stereoscopic effects in the current view using partial color reproduction.
    • activates anaglyph stereoscopic effects in the current view using shades of gray.
    • activates anaglyph stereoscopic effects in the current view using fewer colors than iV Color Anaglyph mode to decrease retinal rivalry.
    • activates anaglyph stereoscopic effects in the current view using no shades of red to decrease retinal rivalry as much as possible.

    A 3D immersive pointer replaces the 2D mouse pointer to avoid perception conflicts, and keep the stereoscopic effect.

  5. Set the object of your choice in the screen plane by right-clicking it in the 3D area, and then selecting Reframe On.
  6. Zoom out to view the whole scene.
    • Any object located in front of the screen plane has a smaller depth and thus, has a 3D pop-out effect.
    • Any object located behind the screen plane has a larger depth.
  7. Move the immersive pointer over the objects.
  8. To exit, click .
