[vtkusers] Crystal eyes

[John Anast-JM]

Joey,

Crystal Eyes does work with vtk on NT. I'm using a Wildcat graphics card which
supports stereo glasses. It is necessary to reboot the system into the stereo
mode (at least with this card, which btw I hate having to do it that way, what a
pain). For non-stereo apps while in stereo video mode the screen display is not
very attractive. Perhaps other cards handle this better. Stereographics has a 3D
screen saver on their web site that will help you see that at least the glasses
are working. I've played with some simple stereo viewing in vtk but have not
come up with a "stunning" demo of the capabilities yet. If anyone has something
like this please share it (-: Within vtk you will need to enable stereo
mode...here's a snippet from a simple tcl app...

Does anyone here use VTK with Crystal Eyes support?  If so, how well does it
work?

Speaking of which, I don't really know much about it, what happens when you try
it?  Does it only work with an SGI or will it work with any workstation?  When I
press the "3" key in the VTK window, everything turns purple.  Is this Crystal
Eyes mode?  Should I be seeing 3D color, or just the purple screen.

Thanks for any information or web links!

Joey
