*Note: Linear polarization is highly recommended for

the applications where there is limited head tilting.
Although providing an excellent separation between
left and right eye information, the linear polarization
is sensitive to the extensive head tilting when the
resulting orientation of the passive polarization glasses
does not match the orientation of the polarization
filters mounted in front of the projectors. If there is a
requirement for extensive head tilting and change of
the viewing angle, then the circular polarization is
recommended. To maintain good separation between
left and right eye images, there is a need for tighter
match between the circular polarizers in front of the
projectors with the circular eyewear.
