Abstract
A stereoscopic electronic viewer for a stereo image pair provided in a fixed medium includes a light source which passes light rays through the fixed images of the stereo image pair. The rays project onto a mirror which redirects the rays through a lens unit. The light rays from each image are associated with a particular lens in the lens unit which focuses the image onto an associated CCD image sensor. The two CCD image sensors have separate but synchronized electronics and provide a synchronized output which is fed to a stereo viewing device such as stereo goggles or a time-multiplexed polarized display. The electronic viewer is mechanically designed to manipulate the image produced on the display device to allow for panning and zooming of the stereoscopic image while maintaining the full resolution provided by the image sensor.
