I can see this thread is currently about Windows, but here is another J3D/Stereo data point: we have stereo viewing basically working on
RedHat 7.2 kernel 2.4.9-34smp NVidia Quadro4 750 (vendor: PNY) NuVision 60GX glasses with VGA sync pick-off (direct DIN connection does not work) NVidia 4191 drivers (must follow instructions exactly) Java3D 1.3 J2SDK 1.4.0 XFree86 4.1.0 I say "basically working" because we have some minor visual artifacts and some other ugliness to deal with (but no time to deal with it unfortunately). I have also seen J3D stereo working with a Wildcat II 4110 on Windows 2000 using the same glasses, but this was some time ago. Unfortuantely I can't share our code but I can tell you that we are not doing anything unusual to enable stereo. We will be making a free public binary release of our system in a few months, I will be sure to post to this list when it is out. Karsten (I think), commenting on your issues with the quality of the stereo effect, eye separation, viewing frusta, etc. In my short experience with stereo, addressing those kinds of issue is hard, and cannot be done fully by the hw/driver/API alone, but must also include very careful design of the model and application. I have found that I am not yet expert enough to know how to do this properly & without a lot of trial and error. And I have not had the time to invest in that trial and error. It doesn't help that I seem to be one of the people that has a hard time seeing the stereo effect. Remember that people like me are out there. FWIW, I don't think this perceptual issue is a binary function. Sometimes with an expertly prepared stereo display I can really see the effect. An NVidia driver demo on Windows I saw once was awesome for example. But for a lot of things I just see a flickering image and get a headache while others see 3D.
