You often hear 360 creators refer to monoscopic and stereoscopic video, or mono and stereo for short. These terms can apply to how an experience was captured using a monoscopic or a stereoscopic camera and how it's displayed. When it comes to cameras, the basic difference is how a scene is recorded. Monoscopic cameras have one input per viewpoint point, and stereoscopic cameras have two inputs per view point to record for both eyes. This is typically two cameras or lenses side by side that are sinked. The result is that stereoscopic cameras produce videos with depth information, where monoscopic videos tend to look a bit flatter. Remember the stereoscope we told you about earlier? Well, your phone will display VR in the same way, and stereoscopic capture will take full advantage of that. Monoscopic cameras are usually the best starting point for content creators, because they simplify the production and post-production processes. Plus, most consumer 360 cameras are monoscopic. While mono video lacks stereos 3D effect, it also offers the double playback resolution because the pixels aren't split across two projections. But remember, that stereo requires additional care in post to make certain that the visuals for both eyes match.
