The use of the cylinder geometry was done back in 2001 to support
rendering in a reality theatre, it was this venue that I wrote
osgstereimage for.  It's very much niche and could be changed to be a
simple quad now so I'd support this change if you want to dive in and
make it.

I terms of slide show functionality, present3D (now one of the
standard OSG applications) can do 3D stereo presentations that include
support for stereo image/video it's much more flexible and powerful
than osgstereoimage could ever be so I wonder if the slide show
functionality is really that necessary - this example could be focused
purely on illustrating how to set up a subgraph to do stereo
left/right image rendering.
