</p><p>
In outdoor scenes, you can't tell anyway. Stereoscopy only matters for objects out to a meter or so.  The change in relative position of near and distant objects is a more powerful cue than stereoscopy.  (You don't have enough information from Google StreetView images to do that anyway,)

When Jaron Lanier demoed his original virtual reality system to me in the 1980s, he mentioned that once one of the two SGI machines driving the two head-mounted displays had gone down, so they just piped the same image to  both displays and nobody noticed.

I'd like to see a modern VR system with a frame rate of 120FPS or better and a lag of no more than two frame times between input from head motion to image display.  That might actually not suck.</p></htmltext>
