Abstract

A stereoscopic full resolution image is displayed on a monitor which is perceived to be substantially flicker free. A left and right eye image of the object are digitally represented. The digitized images are divided into a plurality of horizontal raster lines comprised of a plurality of pixels. The odd and even lines of each image are separated and the result stored in four different locations. The four locations are repeatedly scanned at a 30 Hz rate and the monitor's display is refreshed four times for each scan. The sequential scanning alternates between left and right eye images and odd and even lines which are interleaved on the monitor viewing surface.
