Dear John, Mark, Paul, Micheal and friends who are interested in stereo viewing:
Thank you for your valuable suggestions! I have successfully got the stereo cube standing up by running HelloUniverse.java, both on Win95/98/Me and Win2000 with GeForce card. The suggestions by Mark and John for using Win2000 and Denotator 12.41, and by Micheal for using Win9X and nVidia 3D stereo driver are practicable. (For Win2000, I had tried using Denotator 21.83 but failed). It looks that GeForce 2 GTS is a bit expensive and thus unnecessary. GeForce 2MX 200 and 400 are cheaper (about half price of GTS) and both worked very well. I am now going to learn how to control the left and right eye image selection. Have a good weekend!
