Stereoscopic Images

Hi, Is it possible to create stereoscopic panorama images for use with a VR headset?
Thanks.

Currently it's not possible. You can create two scenes separated by some distance representing the space between the eyes and render two images separately.

If you are using SketchUp Pro it has under the Tools menu "Pro Camera Tools>Create Camera" where it creates a scene but also creates an actual camera component in your scene which is tied to the scene that was created. So you can create a second camera identical to the first, then move the second camera to the right or left precisely 6" and it will give you the two cameras needed for you to render your 2 spherical images for the VR effect.

Now, you will need a program like 3DVista which can take the spherical image and create the html that you can upload to your website, and view the VR on the website.
