What distance should you be from the screen when you view it, using a typical 20" size monitor?
Thanks

Hi Bob,

I think Dylan used the Cross Vision method for his stereo image. RE: distance, try > 70cm to start off with. Once you get the hang of it, it's possible to stand on the other side of the room and still achieve the 3D effect (sometimes the further away you are the easier it is).

To sample cross-vision: hold one finger up at arms length and stare at an imaginary point about 1/2 way between you and your finger so that your eye's gaze is crossing at the half way point. If it works, your finger (and possibly part of your arm as well) becomes 2 with a separation of approximately 10 cms.

To sample parallel-vision: hold one finger up at arms length and stare beyond it. If it works, your finger becomes 2 with a separation of approximately 3 cms.

Cheers, Evan
