The camera I use most is a FED Stereo, they were made in
Ukraine in the late 1980's. Not very reliable, but it has autoexposure.
The FED has a normal 62mm (65mm?) stereo separation.
On some shots I use a pair of twinned (synchronized) Pentax ZX-Ms,
the stereo base on those is a 6 inch minimum. The shots of the
man burning have a 10 inch stereo base.

Here in the USA we call those "Magic Eye" or "Hidden Image"
stereograms. Originally they were called Random Dot Stereograms (RDS).
They are a good way to learn to "free view" (no glasses or viewer used).
I find it easier to use the cross eye method, but most people don't
