Am I right about stereo limits and enchanement?

There are converters for Fuji W3 (and W1)...

The stereo effect depends upon the difference in the distance of near and far objects in the image.

I've found the best 3D images have layers of distances, near, middle, and far. I've done human portrait (nude) 3D and while you can see the effect, it's not as dramatic as a landscape with objects at different distances in the scene.

It is also affected by the distance between the two lenses in the camera or binocular.

Yup. For the Fuji W3 (the camera I have) for instance there's the macro converter that reduces the stereo base to 25mm (human eyes is 80mm):

There's also a stereo base extender for the W3 that extends it to 225mm:

The weird exception to this is the Panasonic 12.5mm 3d lens for Micro FourThirds cameras with a stereo base of 10mm:
