Comment

In contrast with 3D binocular stereoscopy (displaying a 3D scene via a left-eye and right-eye angle), 3D multiscopy displays multiple angles at once. This allows a viewer to move their head around the 3D subject to see it from different angles.

Examples

Examples of multiscopic (as opposed to stereoscopic) 3D technologies include:

Parallax-based technologies

parallax barriers (e.g. Nintendo 3DS)

integral imaging (lenticular sheets or fish-eye arrays)

Volumetric technologies:

sweeping a projection across subsurfaces

transparent substrates (such as "intersecting laser beams, fog layers")

Holography (including real-time holography)
