*********  So did I for quite a long time. When I first joined this group I
wrote such an opinion to P3D. I have changed my tune. My early experiences
with crossed viewing were mildly uncomfortable and definitely unfamiliar. I
finally got frustrated enough with the small size of parallel viewed images
and was motivated to teach myself crossed viewing. With practice it became
very familiar and easy.

The resulting freedom for viewing stereo images of any size, and the reduced
stress on my eyes from many hours of freeviewing, has convinced me that it
is a very important and relatively easy technique. One can spend a great
deal more time free-viewing stereo if both viewing methods are used
interchangeably. I would have been equally able to learn the technique a
long time ago, but didn't go beyond casual experimentation. I recommend
anyone who likes stereo images should learn both kinds of freeviewing. It's
valuable and lots of fun to wear one's viewer in one's head at all times!  ;-)

*******  Maybe I'll have access to such a camera sometime in the future? It
has the potential to become a *method of choice*. Lack of availability
disqualifies many techniques from choice status. Besides I'm kind of glad it
takes awhile to explore the universe of 3D.
