This page is for aggregating the latest know-how and links to current Stereo 3D display options best suited for molecular graphics applications like PyMOL. Please strive to provide fact-based objective information based on first-hand experiences while using the displays for real work and teaching.
Let's figure out together what stereo solutions work well in this post-CRT world!
Definitions
- Active Stereo requires expensive and/or bulky shutter glasses.
- Passive Stereo requires inexpensive lightweight polarized glasses required.
- Autostereoscopic does not require glasses.
Active Stereo (High-Refresh) LCD Displays
This solution would be analogous to using desktop CRT monitors with shutter glasses. Are any of these displays on the market yet?
Active Stereo (High Refresh) DLP Projection Televisions
This solution would also be analogous to using CRT monitors with shutter glasses. However, projection televisions tend to be too large and blurry for desktop use.
Passive Stereo Mirror-based LCD Displays
Passive Stereo "One Piece" LCD Displays
Active Stereo (High Refresh) DLP Projectors
Passive Stereo Projector Adaptors
These devices make it possible for a large audience to see projected stereo 3D using inexpensive polarized glasses.
