VR vs. Stereo 3D – What’s the Difference? Which One is Right for You? 🤔

Did you know? Both create immersive experiences, but they work in different ways:

🔹 Stereo 3D enhances depth perception on screens and projections (e.g., 3D monitors). Objects appear to “pop out” 👀—just like in a 3D cinema! You remain more of an observer, making it ideal for training sessions with large groups or design reviews.

🔹 VR = Stereo 3D + Tracking 🎮. With VR, you step inside a fully digital world using headsets (HMDs), a powerwall, or a CAVE. Your movements are tracked in all directions, allowing you to navigate and interact with the environment just like in real life.

💡 Which One Makes Sense for You?

✔ Need full immersion for individual training or simulation? VR is the way to go. With a solution like moreViz, you can seamlessly integrate your CAD models into VR.

✔ Working with detailed 3D models and need precision while staying in one place—possibly with a group? Stereo 3D (e.g., with moreViz Stereo) is a powerful alternative.
