I misstated something earlier, and I would like to correct the record: Magic Eye books instruct you on using wall-eyed stereo (with excellent instructions, highly recommended!). Currently (with computer monitors) I find cross-eyed much easier (and I think more people should try it). Thanks, Nat

Hi Nat, could you be referring to side-by-side stereo in this (computer monitor) use case? http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd/vmd-1.7.1/ug/node97.html W. On Fri, Mar 2, 2018 at 2:41 PM, nathanielclar5 . wrote: > To learn how to cross eyes, just hold you index fingers

Daniel, To best of my knowledge, options for 3d stereo on Mac are limited to Zalman: https://strucbio.biologie.uni-konstanz.de/ccp4wiki/index.php/Zalman_Stereo If you're willing to go to Linux or Windows, you can do an Nvidia Quadro Card with a 120 or 144Hz monitor with a 3D Vision glasses kit.
