Hello,

I'm new to 3D (I'm actually a "2d" digital video editor...) and I'm having trouble finding the resources to answer a couple of questions.

I've heard that a stereoscopic video feed (two cameras) filming up at a hemispherical mirror (for 360 degree camera) could provide a 360 degree image with "depth info" for the fore and the aft. Is this to say

(1) A camera does not need to be pointing strait at the center of the hemispherical lens to record an accurate image of the 360 degree "horizon?"

and/or

(2) If there are two cameras (perfectly parallel to each other) a certain distance apart pointed up at a hemispherical mirror, an image can be approximated from the two cameras to correspond with a hypothetical camera (perfectly parallel) pointed up at the midpoint between them?

Thank you, If anyone has any advice as to where to go to have these two questions answered I would greatly appreciate it. I just can't seem to wrap my 2d brain around them.
