Despite skepticism about commercial potential, the stereoscopic 3D cinema is still a form that any filmmaker can choose to employ for its aesthetics and its immersive potential. Based on a haptic illusion, the stereoscopic media content requires a new perspective different from the principle of 2D media content in terms of creation and acceptance. This paper examines the technical and aesthetic issues of stereoscopic 3D film production from the perspective of today's emerging realistic and immersive media through a case study. One of the key factors for successful content creation and research and development in stereoscopic 3D cinema is the combination of artistic principles together with technical mastering of the new image technology. The purpose of this paper is to outline the principal challenges and research topics in stereoscopic 3D cinema through a case study of stereoscopic 3D pilot film production for the 'User-Selective UHD Stereoscopic Media Service Platform' of the ETRI (Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute). This paper intends to examine stereoscopic 3D filmmaking workflow and production methodologies, as well as technical elements and aesthetic issues.

As there is a growing tendency to represent the 3D content instead of the 2D content, researches for the stereoscopic image and video are under way in a variety of fields such as acquisition compression, transmission, authoring and display. The authoring technique for stereoscopic contents has given emphasis to virtual stereoscopic contents. Thus the authoring technique for stereoscopic pictures is insufficient. When we compose a stereo scene with stereoscopic pictures, stereoscopic contents may not match the stereo scene because each stereoscopic picture may have different camera condition. To solve this problem, stereoscopic pictures have been modified manually. It is a laborious work and will be spent much time. Also it is difficult for a user who does not have an elementary knowledge of stereopsis. In this paper, we propose the synthesis method to compose a natural stereo scene with stereoscopic still pictures and moving pictures. Experimental results show that the proposed method in this paper allows a user to synthesize stereoscopic contents easily and compose a stereo scene conveniently.

Common stereoscopic three-dimensional (3D) display has a convergence and accommodation conflict that violates the natural human cognitive process of viewing. This weakness exposes the challenge in supporting fun factors while eliminating safety problems in the 3D viewing experience. Thus, human factors have become a major research topic. In this letter, we propose a 3D stereoscopic visualization platform that can expand the sense of a 3D space by fusing organically mixed stereoscopic displays to provide a continuous feeling of 3D depth. In addition, we present pilot test results to show the possibility of the technical implementation of the proposed platform and note ongoing research issues to be addressed.

A 3D stereoscopic image is generated by interdigitating every scene with video editing tools that are rendered by two cameras' views in 3D modeling tools, like Autodesk MAX(R) and Autodesk MAYA(R). However, the depth of object from a static scene and the continuous stereo effect in the view of transformation, are not represented in a natural method. This is because after choosing the settings of arbitrary angle of convergence and the distance between the modeling and those two cameras, the user needs to render the view from both cameras. So, the user needs a process of controlling the camera's interval and rendering repetitively, which takes too much time. Therefore, in this paper, we will propose the 3D stereoscopic image editing system for solving such problems as well as exposing the system's inherent limitations. We can generate the view of two cameras and can confirm the stereo effect in real-time on 3D modeling tools. Then, we can intuitively determine immersion of 3D stereoscopic image in real-time, by using the 3D stereoscopic image preview function.

Stereoscopic imaging is an important branch in the field of digital imaging, and has grown significantly over the last two decades through research and development. Hologram projection technology based on stereoscopic technology has been a social issue since the development of the Hungarian physicist Daniel Garber in 1947. It is becoming more and more important as stereoscopic works using similar technologies are applied to various fields. This study analyzed content cases using classical and creative stereoscopic technology from the perspective of digital image content design and explored the multiprotocol direction of holographic projection.

Stereoscopic (3D) content must be viewable in a variety of visual environments, from 3D theaters to 3D mobile displays. However, the depth sensations provided by 3D media are affected by the viewing conditions, such as screen size, viewing distance, and other factors. This user experience (UX) aspect makes it difficult to create multi-purpose 3D content. This paper describes two study cases in which the authors have focused on the UX and the multi-purposing of 3D content. The first case is an evaluation of 3D image quality on a mobile display. The second case is a trial development of a scalable 3D conversion process.

Wearable metaverse devices have sparked enthusiasm as innovative virtual computing user interfaces by addressing a major source of user discomfort, namely, motion-to-photon latency. This kind of latency occurs between the user motion and screen update. To enhance the realism and immersion of experiences using metaverse devices, the vergence-accommodation conflict in stereoscopic image representation must be resolved. Ongoing research aims to address current challenges by adopting vari-focal, multifocal, and light field display technologies for stereoscopic imaging. We explore current trends in research with emphasis on multifocal stereoscopic imaging. Successful metaverse visualization services require the integration of stereoscopic image rendering modules and content encoding/decoding technologies tailored to these services. Additionally, real-time video processing is essential for these modules to correctly and timely process such content and implement metaverse visualization services.

The success of movie 'Avatar' make people be interested in 3D stereoscopic movie, and government and 3D industry acknowledge that it is another opportunity to develop 3D market since 1920s. However, despite much interest little research to evaluate the effect of 3D stereoscopic exists. The present research aimed to disclose 3D effect compared to 2D by assumption of the importance of 3D stereoscopic and little evaluation to that as well. When audience are exposed to 3D stereoscopic, many outcomes are supposed to be differentiated from when to 2D. From this hypothesis, this paper examined mood, attitude, and presence as dependent variables. Using polarized stereoscopic projection display, 30 participants watched 2D and another 30 watched 3D stereoscopic movie which were the same content. On conclusion, the two groups were not significantly different and this involved much insight.

Many research institutes have studied 3D stereoscopic images since the release of 3D stereoscopic film 'Avatar' in 2009. Universities have conducted research on and studied 3D stereoscopic image in various ways, and even university curriculums have adopted 3D stereoscopic image production courses. However, universities face many difficulties in purchasing expensive equipment including cameras and rigs for 3D stereoscopic image contents production training. This paper addresses the 3D stereoscopic image content production curriculum using software in university. A practical training course was carried out based on the theoretical contents and theories that must be dealt with in 3D stereoscopic image contents production curriculum. As a result, students could understand the principles of 3D stereoscopic image production and produce various 3D stereoscopic images using various software applications. In this parer, proper instructional methods for 3D stereoscopic image contents production in university are discussed through this production course.

This study aims to develop a stereoscopic image authoring tool to effectively produce e-Book content that enhances user's sense of immersion in 3D environments. The proposed authoring tool consists of three core systems; 3D object editing, stereoscopic image, and image media production systems. First, the object editing system arranges and produces diverse objects that constitute virtual 3D spaces to fit the purpose of the content. In this case, commercial graphic authoring tools are utilized to design efficient data structures that can include produced external models. In addition, the material and textures of objects are made to be revisable and editable into the form wanted by the user. Thereafter, a stereoscopic image system will be implemented to produce the generated virtual scenes into stereoscopic images. This study uses the Anaglyph method so that the user can implement and use stereoscopic image scenes more easily. This method include functions to change the color of stereo cameras and control depth scaling. Finally, an image media production system will be implemented that will enable producing the produced stereoscopic images into single images or videos so that they can be effectively utilized in e-Book content.
