1. A method of displaying stereoscopic media comprising:
identifying, using control circuitry, one of a left eye of a viewer and a right eye of the viewer as a dominant eye of the viewer;
receiving, via input/output circuitry, the stereoscopic media comprising:
a first left-eye media channel segment mapped for display to the left eye of the viewer and comprising a first left-eye media; and
a first right-eye media channel segment mapped for display to the right eye of the viewer and comprising a first right-eye media for synchronized display with the first left-eye media;
identifying, using the control circuitry, one of the first left-eye media channel segment and the first right-eye media channel segment as a lower-quality media channel segment based on determining which of the first left-eye media and the first right-eye media is a lower-quality media;
generating, using the control circuitry and in response to the lower-quality media channel segment being mapped for display to the dominant eye of the viewer, a modified stereoscopic media from the stereoscopic media by replacing the first left-eye media in the first left-eye media channel segment with a first mirrored left-eye media and replacing the first right-eye media in the first right-eye media channel segment with a second mirrored right-eye media, wherein:
the first mirrored left-eye media is generated by mirroring the first right-eye media; and
the first mirrored right-eye media is generated by mirroring the first left-eye media; and
displaying, on a display, the modified stereoscopic media to the viewer.
