Introduction
sView is an open-source universal viewer which supports many file types including images, video, audio. It has been designed for 3D stereoscopic data, but can be used for traditional files without any limitations. You may learn sView user tips on this page.

Feedback
OpenGL drivers’ update might resolve many issues with the program and is highly recommended:
- AMD Catalyst for Radeon graphics
- NVIDIA drivers for GeForce graphics
- Intel drivers for graphics embedded into CPUs
However the opposite is possible as well - troubles occur right after drivers update. If you have noticed such regressions it is very important to report them in the right place:
