I found the stereo setup to be rather straightforward, once I found a graphics card that Java3D supports in stereo mode.
I am assuming we are talking about the Windows environment with shutterglasses. Always test your setup outside of Java3D if possible to verify it is working. The issues were: 1) Find a card that Java3D will support with stereo. I used a Wildcat II 5110. 2) Make sure the card is set for stereo--this is in Display, setup, advanced, yada, yada . 3) View.setStereoEnable(true). 4) After that, play with the PhysicalBody object with setLeftEyePosition() and setRightEyePosition(). I wrote a Behavior to change these values depending on an AWT event--be careful if you do this because you can get woozy in a hurry... Make sure you have #1 and #2 solved before doing anything. I am travelling until Monday but I can provide the code then if somebody wants it. Other that that, what other kinds of manipulations are needed?
