I've seen discussion lately about stereo 360° panoramas, and I'm just trying to wrap my head around how it works.
You create one panorama from one point. Great. You make another from a few inches to the left (ocular distance) to make it stereo, which will look fine as long as you're facing forward or backward, but if you rotate your head 90° one eye will be behind the other, not next to it, so it will fall apart.
I can almost conceive how it could be done as two six-image box-panos. But you would need to fix where the images meet at 45°, and I have no idea how to go about making it stereo looking up or down...
I'm confused.
