It is indeed possible to get Jmol to work with a passive 3d setup, i.e. using two projectors polarized perpendicular to each other and a non-depolarizing screen. You can connect the external VGA of a laptop to the Matrox DualHead2Go adaptor:
http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/products/gxm/dh2go/ which provides two output signals, one for each projector. Set up graphics display on the laptop to extended mode for the external VGA signal and open a Jmol page in the extended display area, invoke the side-by-side stereo display mode (cross-eyed or wall-eyed.. one of these will be correct depending on your connections) and one side will go to one projector, the other side to the other projector. The built-in laptop screen can be used for the script window while the Jmol page displays on the external screen...very convenient. This gadget is not expensive...CDW sells analog version for $149. I have done this with a plain vanilla Dell laptop with Intel integrated graphics...i.e. nothing special....will work with nvidia and amd graphics cards (although not necessarily all of them (see the Matrox site for compatibility) and I have also done this with mac laptops. Passive glasses can be bought in bulk very inexpensively.
