本文將介紹日益蓬勃發展的3D立體編碼的相關領域及技術。各式各樣的3D立體顯示技術及設備不斷的進步，使我們能夠體驗到最真實的立體感知。為了要能活用這些設備，需要龐大的影像資料，其背後的儲存及傳輸都會是棘手的問題，因此新一代的影像編碼標準MVC便被提出來做為壓縮這些影像資料的手段。本文將會分成三個部份，分別介紹有關日新月異的3D立體顯示設備、多視點的影像壓縮編碼標準及技術、以及如何傳輸及儲存這些媒體資訊。

This article describes the developing fields and techniques related to three-dimensional objects. Theimprovements of 3D display devices and technology let us feel the most real perception of objects in virtualworld. In order to facilitate these equipments, it needs a lot of image and video data to processing behind. But,the storage and transmission of this tremendous amount of data is very critical. Thus, the new generation ofvideo coding standard—MVC(Multi-view Video Coding) is introduced to compress these video data. We willdescribe these topics in three parts: 3D display devices, multi-view video coding, and transmission andstorage of these data.
