Thanks Chris, I really prefer the 30g Zalman glasses versus 400 g shutter glasses that have troubles (at least the old ones) when people are sitting next to each other in terms of interference of the signal.
Half resolution ? 1600 x 1040 on a Zalman I think is full but I have not counted the pixels when looking at them and I might be wrong. Dr. Coot might know more about that what happens when turning on stereo on Zalmans.

This was originally implemented with CRT monitors and more recently with LCD monitors and Nvidia 3D vision. It is usually implemented using OpenGL. The advantage of active stereo over Zalman stereo is that the text in the window or on the screen is not half resolution when viewing through the stereo glasses. Some may argue about the stereoscopic effect, but I find them both to be quite useful.

I like my Zalman's and the visual stereo effect is pretty impressive. I have no idea if active stereo would improve the perception of the 3D effect or not.

Macs are great with Zalman, but have fallen behind (again) with active stereo (ie. shutter glasses). I will disclaim that I haven't revisited stereo visualization in about 1 year so my info is dated.

Are there any really reasonable arguments for preferring Mac over windows (or linux) with regard to crystallography? What can Mac/Linux do that windows cannot (especially considering that there is Cygwin)? What wonderful features am I missing? Mac vs. Linux: mostly a matter of personal preference, but I agree with Graeme. Most programs run equally well on either - with Coot a partial exception, apparently due to problems with the X11 implementation (but once you get used to these, it's not a big deal). Windows, on the other hand, simply doesn't support the full range of modern crystallography software. And in my experience, it has crippling flaws that mean some programs will always work better on Mac/Linux. I wouldn't ever endorse trying to use Windows for serious scientific computing unless you need to run an application that won't work on any other OS, and as far as I know there isn't a single (macromolecular) crystallography program that falls into this category. -Nat I have seen that in the last Mac Os, X11 have been removed... But can still be used with some package installation. -- ******************************************* Jacob Pearson Keller Northwestern University Medical Scientist Training Program email: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> ******************************************* ......................
