You could also try to find some wide angle binoculars that will focus up
close.  If you sit next to a projector with 127 mm lenses and you took 
the stereo pairs with 35 mm lenses, then you need about three and a half 
power binocs (127/35~=3.6).  Angle of view would be format diagonal (say 
30 for 5P) divided by the length of the projection lens (127), which is
about 13.5 degrees, which is about 71 feet at 100 yards, as some binocs' 
fields of view would be measured.  I don't know binocs so I don't know if 
this is easily done, but I suspect it is.
