I had some discussions a few months ago with Warren Deleno, author of PyMOL.

He has a laptop with these capabilities.

In the future I hope to add support for this and for GeoWall (which uses
polarized glasses)

Making OpenGL calls might be difficult.

Certainly quite complicated installation.

Although that would not be as big an issue in a classroom environment.

Yes.

An PyMOL supports it today.
