GXP Mosaic

If you attended the 2006 ASPRS Conference in Baltimore in March 2005, the ESRI International User Conference in July 2005 or the BAE Systems GXP International User Conference in February 2005, you may have seen SOCET SET or SOCET GXP being displayed on an intriguing stereoscopic monitor. Planar Systems recently unveiled a new stereoscopic monitor that has garnered positive feedback in the geospatial community.

Planar’s SD1710 has excellent stereo image quality and superior viewing comfort. Rather than toggling between left eye and right eye imagery like previous CRT-based solutions, the Planar SD1710 provides a continuous, flicker-free image to both eyes at a comfortable refresh rate (56-75 Hz). The brightness is sufficient to use in normal office lighting and the LCD response time (3 ms rise, 9 ms fall) is fast enough for image roaming. Because there is no restrictive “sweet spot,” multiple users can view vivid stereo imagery simultaneously. The StereoMirror^™ technology uses two 17-inch AMLCD monitors in an up/down configuration separated by a 110° angle. A semi-transparent mirror is positioned at a bisecting angle between the two monitors. When this device is viewed with passive linearly polarized glasses, the right eye will see one monitor while the left eye sees the other. This unique approach creates a stereoscopic 3D monitor that uses the full SXGA (1280 x 1024) resolution and color of both displays. Planar’s SD1710 is a great hardware compliment to BAE Systems’ geospatial software.
