All in all, you'd be better off with 2 CRTs
instead of one.
I played with that in the early 1980s.
I used viewfinders from video cameras. Take a matching pair, and turn the
eyepiece cup around to turn one into left-eye, and bolt them on a bracket.
I used B&W, because I'd rather have sharp than colorful (in text mode,
the B&W viewfinders could resolve 80x25 text quite comfortably)
I fed each one from a separate computer, because I never could manage to
get 2 CGA cards to coexist in one machine.
I never took it past "proof of concept" (a few 640x200 B&W still images)
