Re: [ccp4bb] Affordable 3D LCD Arriving Soon
The problem with the iZ3D monitor is its requirement for Windows and its related API DirectX. This rules out alot of the crystallography community becuase of their affinity for Linux and Mac.

Re: [ccp4bb] Affordable 3D LCD Arriving Soon
The 3D LCDs have been out for about a year now. They started at around $700, but you can find them for about $350 now. http://computershopper.com/lcd-monitors/reviews/iz3d-lcd-monitor It's a different technology than the shutter glasses- If I understand it correctly, it basically uses the same principle as a 3D movie... http://iz3d.com/t-3dproductex.aspx Does anyone have an idea as to how long it will be until this is supported by coot/chimera/ccp4mg/VMD, etc.? -Chris James M.

[ccp4bb] Affordable 3D LCD Arriving Soon
I came across an article about Samsung's $400 3D LCD monitor coming out in April so I thought I'd pass it on for those who may be interested. http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/07/samsung-officially-introduces-2233rz-the-22-inch-3d-panel-for-g/ I'm pretty sure their 3D implementation is different than the current shutter-glasses active 3D. Hopefully it will be supported by coot and other 3D programs.
