No doubt you can induce the same effect in far objects by exaggerating the difference between what each eyes can see. If you didn't have the size to compare, you would actually think they are nearer. However, this is not very realistic - this is why sometimes the 3D effect in a movie vanishes or looks gimmicky. Until today, the most convincing 3D scene I ever saw were the recording in Avatar, which were recorded using a 3D camera very near to the face of the actor.
