Dutch term or phrase: 3D werkt met een linker en een rechter oogbeeld
Context: a documentary about 3D television. The host explains to the viewers how 3D television works.

Thanks very much, folks for helping me out.

English translation:3D works using "stereo vision" / "stereo viewing" / "stereoscopic imaging"
Explanation:
If you need something less verbatim, this is a more technical term that we used when I was doing Virtual Reality / Computer Graphics research at UNC.

"viewing in stereo", "seeing in stereo" or "stereo viewing" basically means that each eye is seeing something differently and your brain is having to process it into one image.

It involves any process of presenting different images to each eye, which confuses the left and right brain. The brain deals with it by perceiving the resultant image as something that has depth.

You can do this in many different ways through color changes (the typical red / blue eye glasses), polarization (one eye polarized north to south versus east to west in the other eye), ocular distancing (one image farther away in the right eye than in the left eye) etc. Doing any of these things to give depth to something that might otherwise be perceived in 2D is called "stereoscopic imaging".

The same applies to your ears. Compare with "stereo sound". Stereo sound means that different sound is coming out of the left and right speaker (or going into your left and right ear for headphones), and your brain is having to process it into one emulsion of sounds. Unlike with "mono" recordings, however, "stereo" sound gives a perception of space or "depth" in the sonic image.

"Stereo imaging", likewise, is the process of localizing sounds to different speakers outputs so that you get some sense that the music is "around" you and allows you to perceive some sense of space that you otherwise wouldn't have with a mono recording.

3D works/operates/is based on a left and a right eye image


Explanation:


http://www.opentutorial.com/Make_3d_images
These basic 3-D photos are called anaglyphs and work best when viewed in black and white. Color anaglyphs are trickier because red and blue objects appear only to one eye. "You give up full color when you use the red and blue glasses," says Gorjian.
Instead, he and his colleagues at JPL's Multimission Image Processing Laboratory create 3-D color photos using two sophisticated techniques: polarization and infrared-transmission. In polarization, the light from left and right eye images is polarized, or made to travel in opposing, perpendicular directions. In infrared-transmission, *** left and right eye images *** are flickered back and forth on a special screen faster than an eye can blink. Both strategies require specialized glasses for viewing.

Reference: dieptezien / depth perception

Reference information:
there can be no depth perception with one eye

3D uses images formed by both eyes

Depth perception is the visual ability to perceive the world in three dimensions (3D).

Depth sensation is the ability to move accurately, or to respond consistently, based on the distances of objects in an environment[citation needed].

Depth perception arises from a variety of depth cues. These are typically classified into binocular cues that require input from both eyes and monocular cues that require the input from just one eye.[1] Binocular cues include stereopsis, yielding depth from binocular vision through exploitation of parallax. Monocular cues include size: distant objects subtend smaller visual angles than near objects.[2] A third class of cues requires synthetic integration of binocular and monocular cues
