Abstract

The invention concerns a method and device for displaying, on a monitor (11), stereoscopic video images of observed scenes. The method avoids unphysiological apparitions on the monitor (11) in image areas which are remote from the convergence plane (19) by creating a blanked-out area in which the relevant image areas are displayed differently. The invention makes it easier for users to work for lengthy periods on such monitors (11) and in particular on video stereomicroscopes.
