Hi everyone,

anyone out there, who has tried ParaView in combination with a 3d projector 
already?

Can you give me some information about the requirements and your experiences?

Any help, links and hints would be great.


I am wondering what minimum hardware and software is required.

I would like to use a projector, which already supports active 3d 
shutter-glasses like the Sony VPL-HW65es 
(http://www.sony.co.uk/pro/product/vpl-hw65es<http://www.sony.co.uk/pro/product/vpl-hw65es/>).

The best web-page describing possible stereo-setups I found was 
http://cismm.cs.unc.edu/core-projects/visualization-and-analysis/setting-up-a-simple-stereo-system.

But it might be a bit outdated.


--- quad-buffering required or not?

I read, that ParaView required support for quad-buffering if you want to use it 
on stereoscopic displays.

Is that true, or only true for stereo mode "Crystal Eyes"?

Because additionally I read, that ParaView has run with NVIDIA 3DTV on Geforce 
grafikcards, too, which have no quad-buffering support.

(... but the development of NVIDIA 3DTV has stopped with Windows 7 
(http://www.nvidia.com/object/3dtv-play-system-requirements.html) )

This seems to work, if stereo mode is set for example to "Checkerboard".

Hence, I wonder why there is no quad-buffering required for this setup.


--- stereo-ParaView on Windows 8+ connected to a 3d projector?

Is NVIDIA 3D Vision Pro still required to be able to send the stereoscopic view 
to a 3d projector on Windows 8+?

Windows 8+ has native support for stereoscopic displays 
(https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/dn653361%28v=vs.85%29.aspx).

Does that mean, that the 3d projector has to be recognised as a stereoscopic 
display by Windows

and can ParaView then send its 3D view to the 3d projector via HDMI 1.4a+?


--- stereo-ParaView on Linux connected to a 3d projector?

What would I need beside an NVIDIA Quadro to use this under Linux?

Or can I use a non-Quadro card with a ParaView stereo-mode other than "Crystal 
Eyes"?


--- stereo-ParaView on Mac connected to a 3d projector?

...?


Sorry, lots of questions.

I hope you can give me any help, links or hints on that.


Best,

Jens
