This ROOT-WORD is STEREO which means SOLID. It comes from the Greek stereo which means a solid body. Years ago the Root STEREO was mainly associated with a STEREOpticon which is an optical instrument for throwing pictures on a screen. Today, with the advent of motion pictures and the STEREOscope, and its use with a phonograph, illustrated lectures are given in the classroom with great profit to the student.

If a neighbor lost an eye in an automobile accident how does his vision differ from that of someone with two eyes?
The biggest difference will be the challenge of depth perception. The stereopticon type of ability that two eyes have enable the brain to better judge distance. This is a big handicap, one which improves with time as the brain adjusts to using other clues to determine depth and distance. It also gives them a larger blind spot or put another way, a smaller field of vision.
How does a magic lantern work?
In the era before movies, the magic lantern was the only way to show moving pictures. It was a device that was similar in some ways to a slide projector: it could display pictures, animated images, and even illustrated lyrics to popular songs. An early version existed in the 1600s, but the magic lantern (sometimes called a stereopticon) became very popular in the late 1800s as projection techniques improved, allowing more interesting and colorful slides to be displayed and enjoyed. I enclose a link to a historical society that preserves these slides.
What is the definition of the word stereo?
It means two. It is most famililar in the word "stereophonic" which means "two sounds", and means a music player with two speakers. Sometimes a music player (especially when they played LP discs) was called a "stereo" as an abbreviation for stereophonic. The word was also abbreviated in its adjective form--e.g. "There's a great stereo effect in Led Zeppelin's Whole Lotta Love." There are also uses of the prefix where they are not talking about sound. A stereopticon was a device with two photographs of the same thing, one for each eye. When viewed through the viewer, they had a 3-D effect.
