Abstract :
A camera and display system is described that takes stereoscopic pairs of images through a standard single lens endoscope. A ferroelectric liquid crystal shutter is used to change the optical path to a CCD camera to capture left and right images. Sequential display of the two images and FELC shutter glasses are used to present the left and right images to the user
