Abstract
The present invention provides new and improved methods for acquiring stereoscopic image data and, in particular, stereoscopic images of a location. Some of the benefits of these methods include acquiring by a single user, without producing one or more substantially abrupt transitions in or between respective views or images, or capability for interactive adjustment of image aspects including interpupillary distance and convergence. The invention is capable of producing high resolution, real-time image data while avoiding or mitigating the deleterious effects of spurious parallax.
