Stereoscopic 3D Web: From Idea to Implementation

In recent years so called 3D web has emerged that gives people to view 3D web contents in a standard web browser, and the representative technologies are Web3D, WebGL and O3D. But since the standard web browser has only a single view in which the 3D contents are shown on a 2D display device, therefore the 3D web is essentially a kind of monoscopic 3D. Nowadays with the rapid development of stereoscopic 3D display device, especially glasses-free auto-stereoscopic 3D display device, we think stereoscopic 3D web will become a hot research field, as that can be used to stereoscopic 3DTV GUI, stereoscopic 3D games, stereoscopic 3D photo gallery, stereoscopic 3D virtual reality, and so forth. In this paper we propose our idea and its implementation for stereoscopic 3D web, and give an example that has been used as a stereoscopic 3DTV GUI.Computer Science, Information SystemsEngineering, Electrical & ElectronicEICPCI-S(ISTP)
