Hi Karsten,
For Java3D to support stereo, the driver has to support the
interface standard provide by OpenGL (or DirectX).
This graphics card use another technique to explicitly
set the stereoscopic mode (eyes distances etc)
through the driver control panel. The card require no
modification of existing program in order to see stereo,
so existing program don't have to be stereo awareness.
In order words, this card is not using standard techniques
provide by OGL / D3D.
As my last check with the card driver shown that
it didn't expose the DirectX7.0 stereo property either.
That's why you see Java3D didn't support stereo using
the card.
Thanks.
