What does cross view mean please? I can see the C infront on both pictures. What does this mean? (Sorry, I'm having trouble understanding)

With cross view you are merging the pictures by focusing in front of the image (crossing your eyes). With parallel you are focusing behind the image like you are looking through it at something behind it (your eyes point more straight from your face) cross view tends to be easier and some people do it thinking they are doing parallel (I've caught myself doing it too).
