<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Lately, I've been thinking about how to best
produce stereo imagery using X3D. I've noticed that FreeWRL does it
all in the browser. I'm wondering if a better approach is to have two
active viewpoint nodes--one mapped to the browser left image display and one to
the browser right image display. This will allow for more
flexibility.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>The problem is that at least one of the
parameters belongs in both the browser side and in the scene side.
Although the lines of sight are almost always set as parallel I can imagine a
user wanting to experiment with non-parallel lines of sight. I can see the
inter-aperture distance changed within the scene as a creative decision.
However, the intra-aperture distance will also need to be changed based on the
size of the display and the distance to the viewer.</FONT></DIV>
