I have good news Adrian! I am surprised that non of the other list
members have mentioned it (shame on you all! ;;;-)), cause this
was discussed a few months ago. The viewer for you is the 3Discover.
Coincidently, this is the same viewer the group is discussing the
last few days.

In the discussion (a few months ago) it was mentioned that the
interoccular adjustment of the 3Discover is 65mm, 60mm, and 55mm.
Not only that, but that the infinity spacing is 55mm and the chips
are mounted closer together compared to traditional Realist mounts.
Thus this should work out perfectly for you. Heck my daughter at
six years old (now 7) was able to see the 3D effect. I knew she was
actually seeing it in 3D because of her enthusiastic reaction, which
I had never seen with the VM viewer.

BTW (this is common knowledge for most on this list) ironically even
though the VM is now marketed as a children's 3D viewer, it's actually
designed for adults. The reason being is that it was originally marketed
at adults, but when that changed they never changed the viewer eye
spacing.

Now if you wear glasses, that's another problem.
