Hi Bob and J-S,

The current stereo support assumes a powerwall setup, so while easy to
use isn't that generic.

For generic support one needs to manage things at a higher level - up
in osgViewer as I've done with the spherical display support.  My plan
is to move stereo support entirely within osgViewer and with it
provide the viewer configuration support required.

This is how I have imagined it would play out. I had opportunity to take a peek at how it is done in the spherical display path, just wish I had one of those nifty displays to work with :-)

When time comes, I will happily volunteer my lab to help flesh out support for non-generic osgViewer applicaions. Unfortunatly, I cannot provide for development of the needed code currently. There may be opportunity for this to change as we thaw out and approach summer. :-)

As always, I am extremely appreciative of OSG and the wonderful community it has attracted/enthralled/motivated/etc/etc/etc.

 Hmmm, that would be interesting for us too, but in a different
 project... We have a simulator which uses 4 screens (left, right, front,
 top) all oriented toward the user, but not necessarily at 90 degree
 angles or centered, and it also has a head tracker. This setup requires
 asymmetric view frustums which are specified using physical measurements
 (viewer position and screen corners), and the current code to do that is
 kind of ugly and painful to look at, so if something like what you're
 talking about could be used for that, it would be great.

 I hope you'll consider contributing what you come up with for inclusion
 into OSG. Interesting stuff.
