Autostereoscopic Displays for Scientific Visualization

Many types of scientific images and data are complex and are easier to interpret when observed in three dimensions. This is especially true for information presented visually in the form of multiparameter graphs and tables, as well as for images of physical events, such as turbulent flows. Furthermore, the appearance of depth in stereoscopic displays adds greatly to the understanding and analysis of scientific imagery, especially of physical events. This is, of course, true for other images as well — wherever rendition of depth is important — for example, in mechanical engineering, architecture, medicine, and other fields of endeavor.
