Beginner’s guide to passive 3D stereo monitors for GIS experts

Guide for GIS experts

A new guide in Surveying News by Josef Schneider shows how passive 3D monitors increase the efficiency of GIS professionals’ work. By using polarized glasses, these monitors provide a seamless 3D viewing experience that improves depth perception and analysis of geographic models. In contrast to active 3D monitors, passive systems offer a cost-effective and convenient alternative as no batteries are required. The technology facilitates the visualization of complex data sets, improves the accuracy of measurements and supports team collaboration. This guide offers practical tips for optimal use in the GIS workflow.
