You can still buy 3D stereo projectors that work with workstation graphics cards.  Another possibility is a used 3D TV.

For personal use, VR is better.  UCSF ChimeraX uses SteamVR to support VR headsets.  Currently that means it has to be on a Windows or Linux system.  Tom Goddard has made some videos where he combined the VR images with a 3D camera of him doing VR, so you can see how it works.  One example is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKNbRRRFhqY&feature=youtu.be (3D EM starts at 3:34, 3D molecular structure at 5:00).

Subject: Up-to-date 3D stereo solution

Dear all,

I am wondering, if anyone has experience with implementing stereo 3D
setup with currently available hardware. NVIDIA 3D vision seems to be
pretty much dead.

The primary usage would be model building in Coot, but also potentially
Pymol analysis.

The biggest issue is an access to controls. We played a bit with PS VR,
VR solutions prsented last year at CCP4 weekend seem to be still far
from usable.

Did anyone try AR?

Best regards,

Jan
