Abstract
Stereoscopic 3D Visualization provides users with higher depth impression of observed scenarios, with consequences in terms of sense of presence, remote environment comprehension and accurate teleintervention of robots and medical devices. New AR/VR technologies including Mobile VR Headsets, 360 degree cameras and the possibility for a more natural HCI, enhance these capabilities. The presentation will introduces some basics concepts and will overview few projects developed at the University of Hertfordshire, United Kingdom.
