Gabriel gave you some good advice.  I'd just like to add that I have a
Nishika (four lens) and even using the outside two images from that
camera, the results are disappointingly hypo-stereo unless your entire
scene is fairly close, but not *too* close, as the lenses are not in
focus at less than about 3 feet.

Given that the maximum separation for the ImageTech is likely to be less
than for the Nishika, (is this true?  I don't know the separation for this
camera) I wouldn't expect a lot of depth in the results.
