Stereoscopic Mode

Gravit Home / Documentation Index

Overview

Stereoscopy is a way to see a 3D image on a 2D screen. It is similar to the way the Magic Eye books do it. You don't need any special glasses for this to work!

Note: As of version 0.4.1, stereoseparation represents degrees rather then distance.

There are two ways Gravit can display stereoscopic images. They are cross-eyed and parallel viewing.

To get parallel viewing set up in Gravit, you'll need to get into the console using the ` key and type in the following:

stereo 1
stereoseparation -5

The stereoseparation value is adjustable, the more negative this number is, the more 'depth' you will see. The number actually means the angle difference between Gravit's eyes.

To get cross-eyed viewing going, the stereoseparation variable is positive:

stereo 1
stereoseparation 5

Increasing stereoseparation to a larger number will increse depth.

For more information on how to get your eyes to do all this, check out the following links:
