Did you create the Canvas3D from a GraphicsConfigTemplate3D where you had called setStereo(REQUIRED)? What happens if you run any of the Java 3D example programs with j3d.stereo=REQUIRED? > The problem is that the glasses work fine when tested via the NVIDIA > configuration panel. > > Java 3D 1.3.0 (OpenGL version), Java 1.4.0-rc-691 > OpenGL 1.3.1 > NVIDIA Riva TNT Model 64, 32MB > Version 30.82 of the video and stereo drivers There have been numerous reports of not being able to get a stereo visual from Nvidia hardware. Apparently some Nvidia drivers don't support the standard OpenGL or D3D mechanisms for creating stereo canvases. From what I've seen from their web site, they support stereo for specific applications only (the most popular games as far as I can tell). I not even sure if the game developers themselves have access to the stereo API; the Nvidia drivers seem to interpose stereo rendering into the standard monoscopic interface. -- Mark Hood =========================================================================== To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff JAVA3D-INTEREST".
