Hi Peter
I'm very happy with the cheap gamers glasses. They are light, much lighter
than the old CrystalEyes we have for our SGI-systems, and also more reliable
(ie. when they dont work, they just need new batteries :-) The batteries
(CR2016) have less capacity than the ones in CrystalEyes (CR2032) but thats a
minor issue. Note that these glasses only work with Linux if the graphics card
has a VESA stereo connector (like the Quadro cards).
I also tried some wired glasses (Eye3D 4in1), which were also good, but they
needed a VGA passthrough cable, which disturbs the signal a bit, resulting in a
slightly blur image on the screen. The advantages are no batteries, and they
don't need a VESA stereo connector on the graphics board. We have succesfully
run stereo under Linux with Xig X-server and a ATI 9000pro card - and
XF86/Nvidia driver/Nvidia GeForce4 card. However, I'm not sure these glasses
are available anymore.
Best regards
Esben

Hi Esben,
thanks for your response. we just bought an Nvidia Quadro4 380GLX and
everything runs fast and fine :)
i am quite interested in your stereo glasses. are you happy
with quality and
durability? we are currently thinking about Nuvision glases
which cost about
$500 (here in germany).
cheers

Hi Peter
Your posting is a few weeks old, but I could see no replies yet, so
I'll try :-)
We have single-CPU Dell machines (3 GHz, 2GB RAM), but I
suppose you
just buy CPU, disk and memory according to your needs (and money :-)
You don't write anything about OS, but according to your
ps line, I
assume it is Linux. We use Nvidia Quadro FX3000 graphics,
which I can
recommend. It is really fast (compared to our old SGIs),
and the setup
is straightforward. Just download the driver from
nvidia.com, run the
installer, and add a few things in the XF86Config file (see Nvidia
readme file). We have successfully tested the driver
(including stereo
support) with Pymol on the following OSes:
RH 9.0
Fedora Core 1
Enterprise WS 3
Windows XP
I have no experience with O, but Pymol, VMD and Accelrys insightII
graphics works fine i stereo. We use glasses from
http://www.edimensional.com/, which are about $100 for emitter and
glasses, and $50 for extra glasses w/o emitter. There is also a
breakout box for use with cheaper graphics cards, but if
you use the
FX3000 (or any other Quadro card), you just throw away the breakout
box and connect the emitter directly to the VESA stereo
connector on
the graphics card.
We also have a 3D projection system with two projectors and
polarization filters. The Quadro cards are dual head, and
the Nvidia
driver is capable of sending the L/R stereo images to different
displays (requires additional setup in XF86Config, again - see the
readme file). So no problems here either. (I haven't been
able to make
this work under Windows yet :-)
Cheers,
Esben

Dear all,
we just considering to purchase new linux pcs and i would be very
interested in the latest hardware recommendations?
we are planning to use these machines for stereo
visualization with
pymol and O.
cheers,
peter
ps. has the pymol Xig Summit2.2 problem been resolved?
