Abstract

Mirror adapters can match a camera and a projector to the task of producing and visualizing a stereo pair. The imaging digital technology can benefit on the traditional optical technology of the last century to get more compact and affordable cameras and projectors. We describe a system which can be applied to different conventional projecting systems, as polarization an anaglyphic ones, useful at an amateur level but put in consideration for the industry. As an additional possibility, the same kind of projector can be adapted for goggles-less stereo viewing in a white light holographic screen whose functioning is clearly demonstrated.
