Why not use a matrix of Web cams? By the time you figure out all the stuff
like how to point the cameras with servos to keep them aligned you may as
well have a few of them. :)

You could put an accelerometer on your head so you an look around.

But unless the objects are vary far you'll want to work out how much to tow
them in (when you look far and close your eyes cross inwards when seeing
close).

That's the only thing that isn't really obvious. How to decide where the two
cameras cross over.

I guess you could move your head forward and back and the accelerometer
could control that?
