Full Description

Zerene Systems provides a stereo viewer that runs entirely in your browser.

This means that it works not only on desktop computers (Windows, macOS, and Linux), but also on cell phones and tablets.

It accepts as input stereo pairs that are formatted as single files in side-by-side layout.

It then provides displays in several formats:

The viewer provides pan/zoom, controlled by either mouse (drag/wheel) or touch (drag/pinch).

A button is provided for swapping left/right with a single click.

Fullscreen display is provided on most devices. (Apple does not permit this on iPhone.)

The viewer is hosted at https://zerenesystems.com/webapps/sv1.html. Images to be viewed can be hosted on any server.

Optional arguments for the viewer can be provided as follows, following a question mark (?) and separated by ampersands (&) as in the example below:

The URL of the image to be displayed can be entered in a text field once the viewer is loaded, or often better, you can provide the image URL as part of a link that launches the viewer and automatically loads the image, for example:
