            Abstract : 
Due to emerging new technologies in the development of interactive 3D applications (eg games and virtual reality), stereoscopic visualization is becoming a common feature. However, this fact does not solve some problems (nausea and headaches - cybersickness) related with the generation of this type of visualization. Some parameter shave to be carefully chosen to create a comfortable stereo view,for example, eye distance, zero parallax plane distance, and the treatment of partially clipped objects in negative parallax. This paper presents a technique based on a Cube Map structure to dynamically adjust stereo parameters during the usage of two virtual reality tools in multi-scale 3D scenarios.
