How to compile the software

• Start RPi 4 and open a terminal
• Execute the following commands

sudo apt install qt5-default qtmultimedia5-dev libqt5multimedia5-plugins
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/OhioIon/stereoVidPi
cd stereoVidPi
qmake
make

Hardware setup

• Connect two video devices to the USB 2 ports of the RPi 4
• The cameras should be spaced 6 cm / 2.36 inch appart (average interpupillary distance) and should face into the same direction (i.e. parallel to each other)

Example setup:

• Two CMOS cameras
• Two 5.8 GHz video transmitters
• Two 5.8 GHz video receivers
• Two USB analog video capture devices (e.g. EasyCAP DC60 / Fushicai USBTV007)
