I suggest you repost in the 3D and Stereo Photography forum.

Stereo photography has a long history and was much more popular a century ago than it is today.

I dabbled very briefly in stereo photography about 60 years ago, but rapidly gave up because of the inconvenience of viewing the images and sharing them with others.  Unfortunately that is still the case today, but even more so because it has become ridiculously easy to share images today (via your phone, etc.), but it hasn't become much easier to view 3D images (you still need special equipment).

Until there is a really easy method of viewing in 3D, I think stereo photography will remain of limited interest (except for virtual reality applications).
