[vtkusers] Stereo rendering

[Eric Wait]

I am trying to do a "Hello World" cone in stereoscopic 3D using VTK (C++)
with a GeForce GTX 460 graphics card, NVidia 3D vision glasses and an Asus
VG236 Monitor.

I have found fragments of code and have pieced them together but have not
had any success in rendering anything in stereo.  I am a newbie to VTK, so
any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here is what I have thus far:
