Cross-Eye Optical Illusions
The cluster focuses on discussions of optical illusions involving cross-eyed viewing for 3D depth perception, including critiques of perspective distortion, parallax effects, lens issues, and projection accuracy in images or displays.

Or just some ability to cross your eyes ;) (if the image is not deformed for lenses)
It's the lens distorting the view.
Digital zoom doesn’t fix the distorted perspective.
Actually the projection is correct, but the camera is not exactly at the center of projection, so it appears that the lines are bent across the monitor edges. However, if you place your head at the exact center of projection, they look correct. I'm actually doing three separate projections, instead of just stretching one image across three displays. The GoPro field of view was not able to capture everything, so I had to pull it back a bit, and so its not perfect. A spherical camera would ha
Hmmm. Isn't this just parallax?
The fact that the perspective is slightly off bugs me more than it probably should.
depth/focus is wrong and hurts my eyes, its like those pictures are forcing me to go cross-eye
That seems like it's just normal perspective from the opposite direction.
No because:> for the optical illusion to work, you must place the virtual camera at the position of one of your eyes and close the other one.
this is dead old problem that doesn't work in bad light / perspective conditions
