There are two basic formats: active & passive.

Both require a device to be used between the viewer and what is being viewed.

Generally speaking, digital 3D may be viewed in four ways:

    1.)    Disneyland-type polarized glasses are used when projected onto a large screen,

    2.)    Viewing on standard home TV monitors or computer screens may require LCD eyewear.

    3.)    Head-mounted display hardware (HMD's),

    4.)    Autostereoscopic displays require no glasses to view the Stereo3D effect.

See the "Display Methods" page for additional details.
