Human stereoscopy is only good out to a few meters (and presumably people aren't going out with giant WWII stereoscopic rangefinders to generate training data). So it wouldn't help them for things like fireworks or trees.



Found out I couldn’t see in stereo. Got prism glasses. Completely blew my mind to seen ”depth” for the 1st time. Had no idea I couldn’t. Never had any trouble.

Apparently without prism glasses my vision just switches from one eye to the next every 30 seconds. Completely seamlessly.


Wow! Any brand suggestions? And, are these the same prism glasses as those that let you watch tv laying in bed?


No. They are for double vision. Had a series of small strokes. Caused high cranial pressure which caused six nerve palsy. I take a pill now and it fixes double vision. I lose stereo that way. But prism glasses are very distracting to wear.
