I have an article dealing with this and if I remember it correctly it
has to do with the viewer's inter pupillary distance. Ill have to
reread it to be sure though.  The article does, however, give some
explaination for it.

        "A Computational Model for the Stereoscopic 
                Optics of a Head Mounted Display"
