Re: [photo-3d] glossary

[Olivier Cahen <o_cahen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

  Hello Stuart. The glossary was first published as many subsequent projects, in the Journal of Stereoscopic Imaging of the British Stereoscopic Society. It was finally approved by a large number of people who helped to correct it, and then given to the Editor of Stereoscopy for publication. If you want to know on which criteria Don chosed the definitions, mail to him, wratten@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    If you want to have this text, become a member of the ISU. If you are living in the States, join Shab Levy, the Contry Representative of the ISU for the States, shab@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx    If you live elsewhere, go to www.stereoscopy.com to find out your actual country representative.
    As a new member, I am sure that Shab will find convenient means to provide you a sample of the issue of last september.
