The human vision has the ability fuse a single image out of different retinal projections in each eye. (Foundations of Cyclopean Vision, Blea Julez, 1971) You don't really see double images behind your point of attention (point of focus != point of attention).
Instead of using "jumping cross-hair" to aim at enemies, do what Chuck Norris would do. Close one eye.
No. The ability to focus at different distances (accommodation depth cue) works only for short distances... maybe max 1 meter (3 feet) if you have 20/20 vision.
Indeed, there is the problem you are referring to. It is called convergence-accommodation rivalry and is caused by the following - your vision uses feedback, and if your eyes converge to certain point the lens of the eye automatically gets focused on that distance. So if the disparity in the eyes suggests an object is being 20cm in front of your nose, your eye lens will auto-focus to that distance. As the object is really projected on the display (1 meter away) it will look out of focus.
This problem can be solved by making the display extra bright. Your pupil contracts, the depth-of-field enlarges, and scene is all in focus regardless of the perceived disparity.
Furthermore, this rivalry will affect only objects that attempt to come "out of the screen". The "depth information stored in the directX buffer" rarely has objects in front of the screen, most of the game scenery will exist at different depths INSIDE of the display. No c-a rivalry there.

...from Lucas Arts had the same idea - the player cannot die, cannot get stuck doing things in wrong order, and is not restricted in time.
Very, very good game.
This will inevitably be modded troll, but books are not time wasters. Slashdot, OTOH, is.
I plan to send human-generated paper to such conference, to see if it gets accepted.
In other news, lots of similarly-sounding websites were replaced by computer-generated webpages:

Seems lots of professors have "search toolbars" installed on their computers:) My prof has two of them(!).
You would expect researchers are aware of that sort of stuff, but I have seen SmileyCentral installed on a seniour researcher's PC.
The cost of feathers has risen, even down is up!
