What if we had three eyes?

Yes, I agree that a triangular setup would probably offer the most 
improvement over the currently fashionable binocular setup.  A linear 
arrangement might allow you to do close up work by using any two 
adjacent eyes, but three in a row wouldn't offer a better stereo 
perception. Does a Nimslo offer a better stereo rendition than a Kodak 
(Or that other one. George, you'll have to help me here, I've forgotten 
the name.  It's that one with no level in the viewfinder :-) )? 
A triangular configuration with the center eye on the forehead (like 
the Venusian on that Twilight Zone episode) would be great for stereo 
projectionists....we could use the third eye for adjustments without 
removing the polarizers from our other two.

I don't quite follow here.  Are you saying that your three eyes don't 
do this already?
