I have been unable to get stereo viewing working in Java3D for the GeForce2 or GeForce4 Ti4200. From what I have read on this list, you need a particular version of Nvidia's stereo drivers as well as a patch (SoftQuadro) that modifies the drivers to work (I think creating a software emulation of the Nvidia Quadro stereo functionality). However, I wasn't interested in patching the drivers of my video card to get it working.
The hardware solution that seems to work out of the box (from Java3D postings) is getting an ATI FireGL card (8800 is the cheapest I believe). While not many computer stores carry them (the FireGL is a workstation class set of video cards), I found a listing at www.newegg.com for one for about $500. Happy hunting.
