"stereoscopic" is but one technology where dual camera feeds are |

combined. Just mount one on top, center of the monitor. Routine solution. |

I'd think a single lens camera mounted on top, center of the monitor, 4K |
| 48 |
resolution, would solve your issues, better than (2) integrated lenses. |
