1. A television for viewing stereoscopic images, comprising:

  • an image engine configured to generate a plurality of stereoscopic scenes, each stereoscopic scene comprising a plurality of at least two pairs of stereoscopic conjugate images, wherein each of said at least two pairs of stereoscopic conjugate images represents a different perspective view of said each stereoscopic scene;

    a display coupled to said image engine, the display configured to receive said plurality of stereoscopic scenes and display said plurality of stereoscopic scenes; and

    a glasses interface configured to receive perspective view information from each of at least two viewing devices, the perspective view information including the distance from each of the at least two viewing devices to the display and the perspective view of each of the at least two viewing device relative to the display, and the image engine further configured to generate pair of stereoscopic conjugate images based on the perspective view information received from each of the at least two viewing devices;

    a signal generator configured to transmit a perspective view selector that contains identification and synchronization information of said plurality of at least two pairs of stereoscopic conjugate images of each scene, the identification and synchronization information containing information for allowing the at least two viewing devices that receive the perspective view selector to be used to view a plurality of pairs of stereoscopic conjugate images on the display representing one perspective view of said each stereoscopic scene based on the position of each of the at least two viewing devices.
