Live Capture — Stereo Camera
B · Binocular Disparity
Q
Can footage captured in real time be viewed in 3D?
A
By recording with a stereo camera (two cameras), the footage can be viewed in 3D through applications such as MOPIC Mirror — with no separate 3D-conversion step.
A stereo camera captures images simultaneously from two slightly different positions, much like our two eyes. This produces a separate left-eye and right-eye image, and the difference between them (binocular disparity) creates the sense of depth.
MOPIC's glasses-free 3D display separates these left and right images and delivers each to the viewer, so natural depth is reproduced without any glasses.
Because the 3D information is already present at the capture stage, this approach needs no additional depth generation or AI-based conversion — unlike converting ordinary 2D footage. The result is more natural, more stable depth quality.
MOPIC's 3D rendering software also runs on a very low-latency architecture, making it well suited to real-time 3D output. That said, the actual end-to-end latency can vary with the camera, transmission environment, encoding, and HW performance.

Use Cases
· Real-time 3D video calls
· Medical, microscope, and endoscope imaging
· 3D live broadcasting and streaming
· Industrial remote monitoring
· Robot, drone, and teleoperation systems
Note
The camera spacing (baseline), field of view (FOV), and alignment can change how strong and natural the depth feels. It is often designed to roughly match the human interpupillary distance, but it can be made wider or narrower depending on the purpose.
