Stereoscopic images are two images created separately for each eye, simulating the difference in the viewing angle between the two human eyes. Parallax naturally occurs when we look at a three-dimensional object with our eyes, but it can also be created artificially. When such artificially created images for different eyes are processed by the visual cortex, it interprets the differences between them as perceived depth.
