I remember a primitive molecule viewer on my Atari ST (I guess I too am getting on a bit) which used that, and as I recall it worked very nicely indeed. Of course there's no colour, but at least for model building it would be quite satisfactory. The good thing is that those glasses are still easily available, for around $5 (!!) a pair (e.g. http://www.berezin.com/3D/3dglasses.htm#Pro). Implementing this type of stereo in existing software should be very straightforward, and if more sophisticated stereo hardware is becoming rare and/or absurdly expensive it may be worthwhile to provide this as an option in graphics programs?
