Stereoscopic and head-mounted display for CAD (Computer Assisted
Design): IBM 3D Interaction Accelerator. Walkthrough with a VR
flavor, Research Division.
I designed and programmed stereoscopic and head-mounted display
(Overview, User's guide) on a variety of IBM and SGI graphics
adapters, in most cases automatically detecting the adapter and
its options. Stereo is controlled by a Motif user interface and
features menus that appear to remain stationary on the display
screen as display resolution is changed. Automated stereo depth
adjustment maintains comfortable viewing effortlessly (a second
version of this algorithm worked a little better by inspecting the
depth buffer each update in a quick, intelligent way to maintain
comfortable viewing, but this version was too machine-dependent to
deploy). Language: C.
Besides traditional shutter glasses stereo, I also modified the
3DIX (CADSight) system to produce chromostereo red-blue depth
image in real time. These have stereoscopic depth when viewed with
diffraction-grating glasses (not the usual red - green/blue
glasses).
I connected stereoscopic systems of the day to IBM workstations.
