Sounds impossible?? Suggestions and advices are welcome.<

It doesn't "sound impossible" at all. It's actually fairly common. You just
have to feed the two images into a unit which synchronizes them, interlaces
them, and puts out an AF signal. I've never done it myself, but John
Rupkalvis of our club (SCSC), who was actively involved in much of the
1980s 3D movie cycle, has developed several unique rigs using such a
technique, which he has demonstrated at our Movie Division meetings. It's
also possible to shoot two separate video streams with a dual-camera system
and "marry" them in post-production, using software such as Adobe Premiere.
Again, I have had no practical experience, but the techniques are all
pretty well-known and commonplace. But then again, I'm that ignorant baboon
who actually thinks red and blue glasses aren't polaroid.
