Stereoscopy, also called stereoscopics or stereo imaging, refers to making images appear 3D. The most popular kind of stereoscopy is two-view stereoscopy, which creates partial depth perception in an image from a set of two two-dimensional images by using binocular disparity. The word stereoscopy derives . Any stereoscopic image is called a stereogram. Originally, stereogram referred to a pair of two-dimensional images that could be viewed using a stereoscope.
