Abstract
This chapter deals with the subject of front-projected stereoscopic displays, and specifically with what are known as plano-stereoscopic displays, which are the most common type. “Plano,” for “planar,” indicates that the display is made up of two two-dimensional images that together form what is called a stereo pair. The purpose of a stereo pair is to replicate the way we see with our two eyes with slightly different perspective views. We will cover the major methods for projecting such displays, and the venues or applications for such displays will also be considered.
