Actually, this rule can be confusing.  If you're looking down a hallway, 
the left eye will see less of the left wall, and more of the right, and 
vice versa for the right eye.

However, if you're looking at a tree, pole, etc., the left eye will see 
more of the left side of the tree, and the right eye more of the right side.

So it depends on whether the subject is concave or convex with respect to 
the viewer.

To further complicate matters, if you're looking at the face of a person 
facing you, your left eye will see more of that person's right side (which 
will be on your left), etc.
