[Lab] Depth Perception

[aaron at ottawarobotics.org]

I think that tying the position of the cameras to your head
movement would cause vertigo or something similar, due to the camera
rotation not matching what your head motion is doing.... what would be
better is some way to track your eye movement and position the cameras
that way. That way the camera motion would resemble what your eyes are
trying to do.
