Hi Guang Bin Liu, I have a GeForce2 GTS card that the NVIDIA driver sees as a Quadro2 Pro. I can:
* Go to Control Panel/Display Properties/Settings tab, * Click "Advanced...", * Select the Quadro2 Pro tab, * Click "Additional Properties", * Select the OpenGL Settings tab, * Click "Enable quadbuffered stereo API" in the "Performance and Compatibility Options" list, * Click the now-enabled "Additional OpenGL Properties" button (it's all a bit of an adventure really), * Make sure "Enable stereo in OpenGL" is selected, and select the appropriate display mode. I have no shutter glasses or anything, so I selected "Use blue line code for StereoGraphics(R)". I also had to switch from 32-bit colour to 16-bit, to free enough memory for the stereo buffers. Then, I ran java -Dj3d.stereo=PREFERRED HelloUniverse Voila! Stereo. If you're running Win2k, this would be the thing to try, I think. I don't know whether this would work for non-Quadro cards. Now does anyone have a 6DOF tracker going cheap? After all, why have stereo images if you still can't look 'round the sides of things? Hope this helps, John :^P Guang Bin Liu wrote: > > Thank you Mark and Michael: > > That is a great news!
