On folowing link is an interesting demo + article about stereoscopic panormam creation: http://smart.iis.sinica.edu.tw/~jet/html/spisyd.ht ml What will come as a next step of technology ? Stereoscopic panormatic movie projection using OpenGL or D3D acceleration of the graphic + HMD and headtracking for navigation in the scene ? Maybe somebody is working on it  Only the computers are to slow now  . | ||

a couple of cubic panorama viewers provide `stereo` through direct3D or opengl with revelator glasses: Bubble tools from http://bbtools.online.fr/ and http://www.advsys.net/ken/kube/kube.htm. With Kube you can often see the corners of the box but Bubble is flawless (some problems with elsa drivers - seems to hog CPU, try different drivers - older on Erazor IIIlt or full screen mode Erazor x2 DDR). Presumably the 3D effect comes from the cube but the images themselves are flat? Bubble still impressive though. I can`t view the sinica demo in stereo, is this true stereo or just the cubic volume? | ||

It is impossible to get real stereo with the "Boluble" like software. There is no steresocopic information in the source data, you can only shift the weaving plane. You need cylindrical projection and much more compiliacated source image procesing (you need panorams from 2 cameras, you must make ekvatorial correction in adition to imige stiching and croping ....). You need specialised software for steresocopic panorama visualisation witch loads 2 cylindrical panorama and create the correct output from them ... Such code is under development now | ||

The sinic demo is a JAVA aplet witch show stereoscopic panorama in cilindrical projection. The playback runs on the WWW page ... You need LCD glasses with line blanking or you need to switch to interlaced mode. | ||

Michal: When will we see this new software and at what price? | ||

The visualisation software is not a problem. I will give it to others for free if IIS will have nothing agains that ( they partialy sponsor my work). I can finish it during 2 months or so ... The problem is that creating stereoscopic panoramas require shoting the scenes from 2 cameras rotated in a special way. You will get typicaly about 40 photographs witch you must stitch together. The stiching proces is much more compliacated than for normal panoramas, becous you must make some stereoscopy specific image correction and morphing operations to get the correct cylindrical projections ... The correct proces is described on http://smart.iis.sinica.edu.tw/~jet/html/spisyd.html . The math is realy horible, and I am not a image morphing specialist ... I am looking for somebody for cooperation ... | ||

To the openeing post "Stereoscopic panormatic movie projection" I can add this link I found http://immersivemedia.com/producing/ I'm trying to produce/test Stereo3D Panoramas suitable for shutter glasses (without movie) made from computer game screenshots and setup a page for this: http://www.panoshots.com/tut/img/stereo3d_pano.html If someone can add links or info, not found on that page, please post here or mail me, because I'm very confused how to create and display Stereo3D Panos ...
