Offense? Not a bit of it! Folks unable to handle parallel gaze or crossed-eyed viewing must rely on one sort or another of stereoscope to aid them in parallel gaze viewing to perceive 3-D.
Don't feel badly, Scotty, it's really not a character flaw!
When I was barely into short pants my grandparents had an immense collection of cards of sterio-image pairs of an incredible variety of scenes and subjects, and a wooden stereoscopic viewer - which my grandmother always had to use. My grandfather, on the other hand, simply held the cards up before his gaze and never had to use use the viewer for the
3-D effect.... His opinion (not PC today...) was that is was "...mainly for the ladies to use". Didn't take long for the novelty of the viewing gizmo to wear off and to realize that his method was lots more convenient than using the viewer.
Different strokes for different folks!
