To render side-by-side stereo (2:1 aspect ratio) which is compatible with any Virtual Window series display, or previous displays (2012, 2015, and 2018 series) simply:
1. Prepare two cameras in your graphics or rendering application. Each camera represents each eye’s view. Render two scenes, one for the left eye view and one right eye view...Or render a complete animation sequence into two files.
2. In Photoshop or After Effects, squeeze the horizontal size of each image (1 left / 1 right) into half and place both of them onto one frame...
For example: If you are rendering 1024x768 images, you’ll wiull have two 1024x768 images representing a left/right eye view.
Each image is then squeezed, making them 512x768 images. These two images are then put onto a single frame, the left image on the left half of the frame and the right image on the right. So the final result is a 1024x768 side-by-side stereo image.
Adobe After Effects does a good job of automating the process.
