>From the nVidia web site, it appears that the way the stereo driver works is that it recognizes the application being run and configures itself to that application. The driver apparently has an application database and knows the details of how each application sets up its viewing parameters, so it is able to generate stereo views automatically without the application itself being aware that it is running in stereo. Most of these applications seem to be the popular games, naturally, so it's highly unlikely that Java 3D will be recognized and run properly in that mode. There are a lot of parameters affecting the stereo display that can be handled properly only if Java 3D can control the OpenGL or D3D pipeline itself. -- Mark Hood =========================================================================== To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff JAVA3D-INTEREST".
