In both video games and movies you don't have to worry about keeping
objects in focus. In film it's taken care of by the camera operator; in
video games things are never out of focus. I'll admit that if we had
perfect focus at all distances like a pinhole camera, then maybe we
would have an easier time judging depth with just one eye, as there
would be essentially no delay as our eyes focus.
