JPS format

[P3D Harold R. Baize <baize@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My two cents on the issue of JPS is that it is a great 
benefit to the stereoscopic community. It will advance 
the use of stereo images on the web. JPS is simply a 
standard for storing two images. It allows developers 
to write programs, such as DepthCharge, that handles 
the translation of the stereo image into whatever 
format the user prefers. The great advantage of JPS is
that it defaults to a basic side-by-side cross eyed 
image that can be viewed on even the most primitive 
computer graphics systems, yet with the right software 
the same file can be viewed with interlaced LCS systems. 
Before JPS the only standard was interlaced JPG or GIF, 
which can only be viewed with LCS glasses. Bottom line 
is that VRex could have come out with another closed 
proprietary file format that only worked with THEIR 
glasses. I for one am grateful to VRex for having the 
wisdom to push for a standard.
