Stereoscopic videos are making a comeback on social media.
But we’d been ready long ago.

Does the interpupillary distance depend on the size of the image, or is there a better range of values to choose from?

Hello Filip
in reality if you look in the center between the two videos and move your mobile phone closer or further away, or you move away from the computer, there comes a moment where you see a blurry video and another video in the middle between the two.
You can see this video in 3D.

Franco, just like the POSITION prop, the PUPIL DISTANCE prop of the camera layer is in world units. So this not only depends on the distance between your eyes (6.4 cm in my case) but also on the size of the world.

A practical way could be to temporarily place an avatar in the world, match the size with the world and measure the distance between the eyes by placing 2 text layers on the eyes and comparing the POSITION prop values.

But a bigger, less realistic value is probably more fun to watch.
