How do you calculate the angle between the persons eyes and the screen, in order to render the parallax effect?

They mention how they do that if you RTFA, fwiw.

I only skimmed it, but looks like they track midpoint of eyes (having rejected pupil tracking), and spacing (to get viewer distance), and they use a webcam to do it.

That's what I read too. The reason I asked is because "either the distance on the first frame for the case interface : False or the distance when the set depth button is pressed for the case interface : True" is not entirely clear to me.

When I was working on such a project, I had no way of correctly guessing the distance between the screen and eyes.
