3D Streetview?
I am interested in trying to capture a static image sphere using 2 cameras in order to create a streetview like stereoscopic 3d experience, where the user wearing the Rift can pan around the image by ...
So I actually tried this a couple of months back with two iPhones set up side by side using two slightly offset captured panospheres . The main problem I encountered doing this was as you turned 360 degrees the 'eyes' inverted. In the end the workaround involved blending the images in photoshop to maintain left eye right eye position. It ended up working pretty well.
Perhaps an option is set up a dual camera capture rig so that when you turn the tripod left and right eye views are maintained in place and capture at a relatively long focal length so there's more steps to the stitch. Then somehow set up visibility options with the two panos on two spheres visible to one eye camera each in software.
Not really gaming but it works great in early concept architectural vis where you want to control where the client is seeing things from.
