I've seen a Stereogram image on povray.binary.images, but it was only an
RE: message.
I can see that it is actually the same scene; the camera is somewhere,
and its look_at is on the scene.
it looks like the camera had been moved. My question is How much to move
(Or Rotate?) the camera in order to receive a real-looking stereogram.

 All depends on the scene you are trying to simulate ...
If we assume the eyes are seperated by about 3 inches,
then to simulate a scene where the focus is three foot away,
the shift would be 3/36 or only 1/12 of the distance from your
camera to the object at Look_at.  If your objects in the scene
are meant to be 30 foot away, the shift is then much smaller ...
3/360 or 1/120 of your camera distance.
 These values will get you close ... and yes, it works best to
rotate the camera using the look_at coordinates as the center
of rotation. Camera angle will also affect it so ... just experiment
starting with a small shift and see how it looks.

I created a macro for a stereo camera that you can use to create a
stereogram.  I can repost it if you would like.
