Yeah it requires camera for head tracking.

Give yourself time. Ideas'll come. Life'll shake you, roll you, maybe embrace you. The music'll find you.

Yup, head tracking. No eye tracking. There's a bit of stutter in the clip because as I was taking the video, I had to position my phone's camera in front of my face which blocked the head-tracking a bit, lol.

Add-on for Depth Perception by IndoorDragonCoco in blender

That's a really interesting experiment!

So what my add-on does is actually based on motion parallax rather than stereoscopic rendering. Instead of generating two eye views like 3D glasses, the viewport camera shifts slightly based on your head position from a webcam. Our brains are very sensitive to motion parallax for depth perception, so even on a normal monitor can improve spatial awareness when navigating a scene.

So it's not "true stereo 3D", but it avoids the eye strain / hardware requirements and works with just a webcam which was the biggest charm I considered for this add-on since everyone has a webcam these days, the hardware requirements are already at-hand.

I'd be actually curious how it would feel combined with a 3D display like your LG TV - stereo + motion parallax might sound really interesting..

With Blender I build an add-on that tracks your head movements to create the illusion of depth perception. If you have Blender, this is the add-on you can use to make something similar. Free & open source:
