To whomever wants to hear it:

There's a common misconception that stereoscopic vision is necessary to perceive depth ("3D"). It's not. Especially when things move: typical action movies are the worst candidates for stereoscopy. One of the best applications is still photography of unfamiliar large objects with unusual light sources.

Why:
1. unfamiliar objects: no cue as to how big they are or how they move relative to the rest of the scene.
2. large: everything is far from the camera => everything is equally in focus.
3. unusual lighting: if light comes from below, shadows are interpreted wrong by our terrestrial minds (e.g. flip a photo of footprints in the sand upside down, they will appear bumpy)
