HP ENVY17 3D Getting Started - Windows 7

What is stereoscopic vision and 3D
When you see the world through both eyes, you are actually looking at two pictures merged into one.
Your right eye and your left eye each deliver a separate image to your brain, which meshes these two
images into one three-dimensional picture.
Most movies in the past were only able to provide one image on the screen, and 3D effects had to be
simulated by other means. However, the HP 3D Active Shutter Glasses provide a different view for
each eye, which more closely simulates 3D vision.
Each scene of the 3D content has two images, one drawn from the right eye view and the other from
the left eye view. The computer display shows these alternating views so fast that your eyes cannot
see the change.
The 3D glasses are equipped with shutters in each lens. When the right eye image is displayed on
the screen, the left lens of the 3D glasses is closed, allowing only the right eye to see the image.
When the left eye image is displayed, the process is reversed and only the left eye can see the
image. These images alternate so quickly that the eyes only see one smooth picture, making it look
like you are actually inside a 3D environment.
What is HP 3D Cinema Technology
3D Cinema Technology delivers a vivid, immersive movie experience. When you watch Blu-ray 3D
movies on the computer with your 3D glasses, the action appears to leap from the screen. 3D creates
an entirely new viewing experience. With 3D Cinema Technology, you have all the necessary
components to watch exceptional Blu-ray 3D. No additional software is required to experience the 3D
cinema-quality visuals.
