What exactly is stereoscopic three-dimensional (S3D) cinematography? How does it differ from other 3D filmmaking techniques? Is S3D here to stay for future theatrical experiences—or will it fall by the wayside like such forgotten technologies as Nintendo’s 1995 Virtual Boy gaming console or the Sensorama – the earliest virtual-reality “Experience…
