Re: Meaning of distances in stereo talk

A clarification on my example:

That should read: "is 6 feet away from the plane that runs through
the film plane."

Sorry for any confusion.

The second half of my question, which I falied to explicitly state,
is: How is the "closest object" determined?  Point to point or distance
to the parallel plane?

Thanks,
