Weird New 3-d Concept?

[P3D Sam Smith <sam@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I just started work on my Stereo Miranda project which involves siamesing
two Miranda SLRs. In trying to find the best approach to combining the two
focal-plane shutters, I came up with several different options. One of them
would be to have the vertical slits of the cloth shutters starting at
opposite ends and meeting in the middle.
Any idea what the effect would be on rapidly moving objects? It's at least
possible to slow the horizontal travel down to something like 1/8 of a
second. If at the same time you kept the vertical slit to a minimum, say 1/8
of an inch, you would have the ability to record a moving object with a
certain amount of distortion. 
Let's take a moving car travelling across the field of view. One slit would
be travelling with the image of the car, compressing it's apparent length in
the process. The other slit would be travelling against the image,
stretching out it's apparent length.

Taking these two images and combining them in a stereo viewer, what would
the effect be? I imagine it would look like the car was driving off the
road, slightly towards or away from the photographer. What about a group of
runners, reflections in a pond, or anything else with motion? Has this
experiment been done before in Stereo?

I think I'll use the more conventional approach for my Mirandas, but if this
opens newer ground I may backtrack.
