I had wondered if you could "force" your brain to adjust by using two 
cardboard tubes to restrict each eye to it's half of the picture. The 
convergence would be way out, but the brain is apparently quite 
capable of adapting - hence some of the experiments with people 
wearing "upside-down" goggles long term.

You'd still get "matchstick" people though - like the days when 
they'd shrink widescreen films into normal 4:3 so you could see all 
the titles and credits.

You could always put a sheet of cardboard over half of the screen !
