Well, I agree that the web author shouldn't worry about how it is achieved, but would it not be the case that the author needs to indicate which view is for which display? That is to say the author would be required to "flag" the output for correct routing to the virtual display. Is it beyond the s

Hi Rob, all, Fair enough :-) I'll have to try better. Rob you give some good examples (WebGL and CSS3) of how an application could be built which correctly renders two views with stereopsis. However, with the exception of Anaglyph methods, a user will need specialised display hardware to properly

I agree that this probably means that web elements that are 'flat' would be styled by CSS with a depth. This is important if other material presented to the user really is stereo (e.g. a left/right eye coded movie). The movie will be set so that the eyes are expected to have a certain 'conver
