I often find myself looking out the side window of the car as I drive to
work. On an open road with little foreground distraction, watching the
trees, homes etc. which are 1/4 mile or more off,  move relative to the
distant mountains, there can be an amazing sense of stereo, almost
hyperstereo. I always consider this to be similar to the "Pulfrich
Effect" where objects are moving or spinning in one direction.
