stereoscopic

Having binocular depth

Stereoscopic describes vision or imagery that creates the perception of three-dimensional depth.

Human eyes see from slightly different angles; the brain fuses these two views into depth perception.

Stereoscopic devices—3D movies, View-Masters, VR headsets—exploit this by presenting each eye a slightly offset image: The stereoscopic effect made the canyon seem to drop away beneath us.
