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.
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
Thanks for the responses! The setup I'm working with
already works with DS Viewer Pro (we have the proper video card, silver
screen, and 3d glasses). I will definitely try this new way to get
the cross-eyed/wall eyed views to work. Just to confirm, I should
'extend the desktop' and open a Jmol on the extended screen. I'm
concerned that this will simply show 2 side-by-side images, just like
when you select this stereographic mode on the monitor (as opposed to two
overlapping images, one of a slightly different angle).
Here
is the setup I'm working with:

It would be great to show a 3D animation of an enolation or similar rxn
before the semester ends!
