Intelligent method and system for producing and displaying stereoscopically-multiplexed images of three-dimensional objects for use in realistic stereoscopic viewing thereof in interactive virtual reality display environments

A system for processing a right and left image component from a 3D stereoscopic image for display and subsequent viewing as a 3D stereoscopic image comprising:

• a stereoscopic image pair generation system that creates a right and left image pair where the right image channel consists of right image data on the even lines and left image data on the odd lines and where the left image channel consists of left image data on the odd lines and right image data on the even lines;
• a stereoscopic image multiplexing system with parameters cl(t) and cr(t) set to 0.5, parameters Rl(x,y,t,Ipl(t)) and Rr(x,y,t,Ipr(t)) set to the appropriate identity matricies to leave the spectral components unaffected, parameters Kl(x,y,t) and Kr(x,y,t) both set to 0 when y is odd and t is odd, 1 when y is even and t is odd, 1 when y is odd and t is even, and 0 when y is even and t is even;
• a stereoscopic image-pair display system;
• and
• a stereoscopic image-pair viewing system.
