Real Time Depth Measurement In A Stereoscopic Television Display

A working prototype three -dimensional television display has been constructed and initial feasibility studies have been carried out. The system employs the time division technique which takes advantage of the interlace facility on the standard television display and incorporates electro -optic viewing spectacles for the observer. Improvements to the basic system have been carried out which include remotely triggered viewing spectacles, thus giving greater freedom of movement to the observer and also an increased switching rate to reduce the effects of flicker.
