Hi, I was wondering if chimera work with one of these stereo monitors that split the image into two opposite circularly polarized images (e.g. MIRACUBE G170S) so that you can use cheap passive glasses, similar to the disposable ones used in some movies. Also I'll be interested If anybody has experience using these monitors. I think they are under $1000 now for a 17' monitor Best Hernando -- ----------------------------------- Hernando Sosa Dept. of Physiology and Biophysics Albert Einstein College of Medicine 1300 Morris Park Av.

The answer is yes! You have to use the chimera daily build (this will be standard in 1.4) and switch the camera to "row interleaved" stereo. Row interleaved stereo works on the Miracube and the Zalman stereo monitors on all platforms (Windows, Linux, Mac). See our tech note on the Miracube at <http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/Outreach/technotes/miracube.html>. Greg Couch UCSF Computer Graphics Lab

Just a little more detail: you can switch the camera using the Camera tool (under Tools... Viewing Controls) or the "stereo" command, see <http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/stereo.html> Best, Elaine On Apr 24, 2009, at 10:53 AM, Greg Couch wrote:
