Abstract
Systems and methods for viewing stereoscopic video images are disclosed. In one example, a stereoscopic video imaging and tracking system can include a first video camera to generate a first video feed of a subject; and a second video camera spaced a distance from the first video camera to generate a second video feed of the subject, wherein the first video camera and the second video camera are directed toward a convergent point to provide a stereoscopic image of the subject. The system can also include a tracking system to cause the first video camera and the second video camera to follow a tracking point to maintain stereopsis of the subject. A head mountable video display can be present to display the stereoscopic image.

A stereoscopic video imaging and tracking system, comprising:
- a first video camera to generate a first video feed of a subject;
- a second video camera spaced a distance from the first video camera to generate a second video feed of the subject, wherein the first video camera and the second video camera are directed toward a convergent point to provide a stereoscopic image of the subject;
- a tracking system to cause the first video camera and the second video camera to follow a tracking point to maintain stereopsis of the subject;
- and
- a head mountable video display to display the stereoscopic image.
A stereoscopic video imaging and tracking system, comprising:
- a first video camera to generate a first video feed of a subject;
- a second video camera spaced a distance from the first video camera to generate a second video feed of the subject, wherein the first video camera and the second video camera are directed toward a convergent point to provide a stereoscopic image of the subject;
- and
- a tracking system to cause the first video camera and the second video camera to follow a tracking point to maintain stereopsis of the subject,
- wherein the convergent point is correlated with the tracking point such that when the tracking point moves in at least one of the x, y, and z axes, the convergent point moves approximately the same distance and a direction in correlation with movement of the tracking point.
