Stereoscopic 3D just doesn’t work for some people. As many of you may already be aware, the modern stereoscopic illusion is created by feeding a slightly different image to each eye — the larger the difference between the two images, the more pronounced the ​3D effect appears. Offsetting the right and the left images directly simulates a real-world characteristic of the human visual system known as binocular disparity, which is a product of the inches-wide gap between your right and left eyes....
