Java 3D currently implements stereo only in the OpenGL version of Java 3D.
It also implements it exactly as specified by OpenGL. This means that any card
that supports stereo, but not in standard OpenGL ways, will not be recognized
by Java 3D as supporting stereo. At this time, we have found no PC graphics
cards that support stereo through standard OpenGL mechanisms. We are still
looking though.
