Abstract: Stereoscopic television can be regarded as a limited subset of “natural vision.” It can provide an exciting viewing experience, but it has constraints. This article reviews the relationship between the process of natural vision, the “object wave,” and stereoscopic television. The main elements of the creation of space image points from screen image points in stereoscopic television are outlined. From this, examples of the limitations of stereoscopic television are described: the potential convergence-accommodation conflict, infinity separation, viewing distance, and depth resolution. Conclusions for program production and the future use of stereoscopic television are drawn.

bio
David Wood is deputy director of the EBU Technology and Development Department in Geneva Switzerland, the headquarters of the European Broadcasting Union, which is the collective organization of Europe's 74 national broadcasters. Wood currently chairs the ITU-R Working Party 6C, which includes 3D TV in its scope, and the DVB group CM-3D TV, which is developing commercial requirements for 3D TV. He has been a stereo photographer throughout the wilderness years of 3D, and was bitten by the 3D bug in the early 1980s after being involved in the first national broadcasts of 3D TV in Germany. Wood was educated at Southampton University in the U.K. and the Popov Institute in Odessa in the Ukraine. Wood is a SMPTE Fellow.
