The distance apart for the two lenses varies with subject distance.

Bercovitz Formulae for stereo base.

These are available for Android devices. I'm sure there are similar applications for Apple phones.

For normal distances you use a lens separation equal to the human interocular distance of about 65mm.

For distance subjects you increase the lens separation to give the image a better 3D effect (hyper stereo). If the distance between the closest and furthest object is too great then viewing the two images can be uncomfortable.

For close up or macro images the lens separation must be reduced to give you a 3D image that is comfortable to view but you have to watch out for too great a distance between the subject and background.

Close-Up - Macro 3D
