I do not understand how it could be 'geometrically' incorrect ... each of
my eyes is a 'camera', and they are viewing from slightly different
angles.

I suppose that the shadows might be different, but Jmol does not draw any
shadows.

... educate me ... :-)

I spent a few minutes looking through the white papers at
www.stereographics.com, but was unable to find anything that described the
algorithm.

Specific URLs to 'tutorials' on stereo projection would be appreciated.
