*****  I mean simultaneous, so that the subject can be in motion. Multiple
as in several images. The point is that you don't want them to be taken from
the same point. It's the differences that count the most. That includes but
isn't limited to the stereo information of L and R. The differences are used
to increase the total resolution and can be accurately computed to represent
the image from chosen vantage points within some range determined by the
source data.
