I'm wondering it anyone is familiar withthe following book:

Human Engineering in Stereoscopic Viewing Devices

By Daniel B. Diner, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California, and
Derek H. Fender, California Institute of Technology,
Pasedena, California. 
(A volume in Advances in Computer Vision and Machine Intelligence) 
Plenum Press 

*** Description ***

This work is the first ever to survey known properties of the human
binocular vision system, analyze stereoscopic viewing
systems without approximations, predict previously overlooked depth
distortions, and derive camera configurations which
eliminate these distortions to provide true-to-scale 3-D television images.
Professionals in biomedical engineering, optical
engineering, computer graphics, robotics, and the entertainment industry
will be provided with an invaluable tool to improve the
optical devices of their respective fields. 

*** Contents ***

Introduction. Stereoscopic Properties of the Human Visual System. Methods of
Viewing 3-D Images. Double Camera
Systems. Single Camera Systems. Spatially-Sampling Cameras and Monitors. The
Observer. Moving Objects in the Work
Space. Reducing Depth Distortions for Converged Cameras. Setting Up a
Stereoscopic Camera System. Index. 

Does it have good info on stereo systems such as theory and cameras, or is
it mostly computer oriented?  It's available from Plenum publishing at:
