Hi Esben and other PyMOL users, We are using an LCD-based 3D system (18" C-i) from SeeReal:
www.seereal.com The screens from SeeReal produce very nice 3D images without the use of emitters/glasses(!). They require no special hardware except for a reasonable high-end graphics card. Unfortunately, their products are quite expensive. Because the user doesn't have to wear special shutter-glasses and because the image is not flickering, the screen is a lot more comfortable to work with than the old type. Be aware that the screen is for 3D viewing only (although this seems to have been fixed in their NextGen series), and it is therefore a good idea to have an extra (regular) screen connected to the same computer for non-3D applications. SeeReal are also developing a holographic display, which might be worth keeping an eye on. Alternatively, consider the Sharp Actius 3D Notebook series (the most recent model seems to be the AL3D) from Sharp Systems of America. It can be toggled between 2D and 3D viewing at the push of a single button. It is only a little more expensive than a regular notebook, but I have no experience with the quality of the screen/stereo effect. I have seen other solutions than the ones mentioned above (similar to the SeeReal displays), but most of them seem to be equally pricy and I have no experience with those. Have a look at the link below or just do a Google search with e.g. "autostereographic display". http://www.stereo3d.com/displays.htm Best regards, Thomas Blicher -----Original Message----- From: pymol-users-boun...@lists.sourceforge.net [mailto:pymol-users-boun...@lists.sourceforge.net] On Behalf Of Esben Jannik Bjerrum Sent: 20. juni 2007 18:18 To: pymol-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [PyMOL] The CRT is dead, long live the ? Hi Everyone I know it might be a bit off-topic, but 3D stereo is an issue which I think many pymol-users care about. We need to equip some workstations with stereo capable CRT monitors. We have long used quadro cards on linux with emitters and stereo glasses, using CRT's capable of 130-140 kHz, but now its not possible to find CRTs anymore. Do anyone know a company which still sells quality CRTs? What else do people do in those TFT and LCD ages? The autostereoscopic displays I've seen have just not been good enough, either visually or with support for quad-buffered stereo under linux.
