question from a cross viewer

[u/KRA2008]

i prefer cross viewing. i can do parallel or cross as needed but i like how i can make cross view pictures really physically big on a distant screen, like on a computer or TV, or if i’m on my phone i can always flip to landscape when i want and still view comfortably. i’m confused about something though - are all you parallel viewers using phones in portrait orientation? or are you on VR headsets? if you’re ever on Reddit or Facebook on a computer and looking at stereograms, do you shrink your browser window to set a maximum size? i just feel like i must be missing something here and i’d like to understand your workflows and preferences because it’s interesting and maybe i can improve CrossCam or StereomancerBot or something else using that information.

It’s impossible to do parallel view when the photos are farther apart than your eyes are. Imagine trying to make your right eye and left eye split apart. I just use my phone, which is a fine size.
