Use the mouse buttons to move around in the scene. The difference is that _two_ JFrames will appear, with a left eye and right eye view onto the scene. (This is done by the StereoFrames class.) How do we combine these images into a single stereo view? Well, you can flex the muscles of your eyes, but I suggest that you build a stereoscope. Details at: http://www.yesmag.bc.ca/projects/Stereo.html The construction details are aimed at kids, so get your children or students to build it. (That's why I'm posting this on a Friday.) However, you need to make a few little changes to convert the ordinary stereoscope into a... Java3D-oscope. * cut off the back wall of the stereoscope * prop the stereoscope up against the monitor screen and adjust the position of the mirrors, the JFrames, until the stereo effect is produced. Total cost: less than $1 for the 4 mirrors (40 Baht in Thai money). Now that you don't need that expensive display card, please send it to me :). I was toying with including a picture of me using my Java3D-oscope, but decided that it was just too amusing. - Andrew ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Dr. Andrew Davison E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dept. of Computer Engineering Fax: +66 74 212895 (then 201 after office hrs) Prince of Songkla University Tel: +66 74 211030 x2240 (then x316) Hat Yai, Songkhla 90112, Thailand or: +66 74 212895 x316 http://fivedots.coe.psu.ac.th/~ad ==========================================================================To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff JAVA3D-INTEREST".
