'''Stereoscopic rendering''' is the foundational [[computer graphics]] technique that creates the perception of three-dimensional depth in [[virtual reality]] (VR) and [[augmented reality]] (AR) systems by generating two slightly different images from distinct viewpoints corresponding to the left and right eyes.<ref name="arm2021">ARM Software. "Introduction to Stereo Rendering - VR SDK for Android." ARM Developer Documentation, 2021. https://arm-software.github.io/vr-sdk-for-android/IntroductionToStereoRendering.html</ref> This technique exploits [[binocular disparity]]—the horizontal displacement between corresponding points in the two images—enabling the [[visual cortex]] to reconstruct depth information through [[stereopsis]], the same process human eyes use to perceive the real world.<ref name="numberanalytics2024">Number Analytics. "Stereoscopy in VR: A Comprehensive Guide." 2024. https://www.numberanalytics.com/blog/ultimate-guide-stereoscopy-vr-ar-development</ref> By delivering two offset images (one per eye) that the brain combines into a single scene, stereoscopic rendering produces an illusion of depth that mimics natural [[binocular vision]].<ref name="drawandcode">Draw & Code.
