View a Virtual World in Stereoscopic Vision

“Enable Stereoscopic Vision” on page 7-62
“Control Stereoscopic Effects” on page 7-63
You can view a virtual world using 3D effects, so that elements in the virtual world
appear to come forward or back from the plane of the monitor.
You can use stereoscopic vision with these Simulink 3D Animation components:
• 3D World Editor
• Simulink 3D Animation Viewer
• 3D Animation Player
• vr.canvas on a figure window
• Orbisnap
Simulink 3D Animation supports two stereoscopic vision approaches:
• Anaglyph — Use red/cyan 3D glasses. Viewing a virtual world in this mode causes
the colors to appear as almost grayscale. This approach does not require any special
computer hardware or software.
• Active stereo — Use active shutter 3D glasses. This approach preserves color
effects and produces more powerful 3D effects. Active stereo requires a specially
configured computer and monitor setup. For details, see “Active Stereoscopic Vision
Configuration”.
Enable Stereoscopic Vision
By default, virtual worlds display without stereoscopic vision effects.
1
Right-click in the virtual world.
2
From the Rendering > Stereo 3D menu, select either Anaglyph or Active.
Note: To enable stereoscopic vision by default, set the Simulink 3D Animation Figure >
Rendering > Stereo 3D preference to anaglyph or active.
