One suggestion I've seen on making SLR panoramics (multiple pictures
taped together) is to pivot the camera at the point where the image is
going "straight" through the lens configuration rather than at the
tripod.  For example...

        \
         \         /|
          \       / |
 scene     ()===()  | film
          /   ^   \ |
         /    |    \|
        /     |
              +-- pivot here

This will keep your panoramic scene from curving as you tape them
together.  Add a slide bar to this to give you your inter-occular and a
ViewMagic to view the resulting 3D image and you should have a winning
combination.
