Complete list of the Stereoscopic Methods for Virtual Spatial Data: 
Status: September 2002 
Constraints: At least 2 stereo mates of real and/or synthetic origin, showing the same object, as imaged from 
different positions, approximately perpendicular to a base line, showing satisfactory parallel imaging 
directions. 
The stereoscopic perception ability while viewing on 2 corresponding stereo mates is due to the 
human 3D viewing sense
