Claim:
1. A method of generating a stereoscopic pair of images for use in forming a 3-D image of an object at a desired perceived position in a scene, said method comprising: moving the object to a left offset position in a scene, the left offset position being located to the left of the desired perceived position in the scene, as viewed from a camera in a left camera position; capturing a left camera view image of the object in the left offset position using the camera in the left camera position; moving the object to a right offset position in a scene, the right offset position being located to the right of the desired perceived position in the scene, as viewed from a camera in a right camera position; capturing a right camera view image of the object in the right offset position using the camera in the right camera position; and preparing the left camera view image with the object in the left offset position and the right camera view image with the object in the right offset position for stereoscopic display of the scene on a concave surface that at least partially surrounds an audience and on which the object appears to be in positive parallax due to the left offset position of the object in the left camera image and the right offset position of the object in the right camera image.
