GameObject stereoscopically distorted if too close to Camera

Hello Rifters,

I have a GameObject (the lipstick) set very close to the camera. I am able to rotate the lipstick via head movement. However, when due to rotation the lipstick comes very close to the camera stereoscopic distortion happens. This starts barely noticeable but becomes more intense the closer the GameObject gets to the camera. In the Rift this feels as if the lipstick has two instances that overlap. "Near Clipping Plane" is 0.01.

I attached a screenshot of the issue in action.

How can I go about the distortion?

Thanks very much.

    You know, when most women put on lipstick they don't actually focus their vision on it. It's all about the mirror + memory. And I've known some really great filmmakers to leave things out of focus on purpose (because sometimes humans expect things to be out of focus).

    That looks like the aspect ratio bug. We are working on it.

    i've seen other projects and i didnt see this kind of problems of 3d models, when rotating up and down..
    i thought it could be my script, that basically is a waypoint follower,where i use rotation for going to the next waypoint.

    is there anyway to fix it?, or do i need to wait for the update, im using unity3D.

    thanks.

    This is a hair brain idea...

    Has anyone ever tried dynamically turning the cameras in to track a close object whilst also reducing the IPD to simulate the pupil convergence?

    It would probably result in some weird cross eyed incorrectly scaled effect.

    Also at what point do you start the convergence, under 50 cms, I don't fully understand the mechanics of the lenses and the collimation and how they're focused at 'infinity'
