Perhaps the most significant advantage of the new Version 2 OWL is that it is perfect for viewing side-by-side stereos on the iPad. In the coming months, this is going to become more and more significant. The newest version of the iPad has a much better resolution than the previous models. In my opinion it’s still not quite fine enough resolution for our purposes. It would be a lot better if we stereoscopists could use the whole area of the screen for our stereo pairs, but that’s very hard. The geometry of the Brewster system – which is really what we are all using, dictates strict limits for the size of our images. Well, we shall see – but in the meantime our OWLs will be a great tool for enjoying electronic stereos on our iPads.
