- make sure that your monitor is capable of running at high
refresh rates (80~120Hz). some monitors require special
drivers and lower resolutions to run at these higher rates.
check the makers website.
- make sure that your 3d graphics card can run in stereo mode.
look on your card's maker web site for those specs. (easy check:
look if your card has a connector for the stereo glasses on the
back of your machine)
- make sure that you have the driver for the card that supports
stereo. this driver may not be the latest or the one specific
to your card. it may be a more generic (works for several cards
for the same vendor) but capable of stereo (120Hz).
- get and connect stereo glasses/stereo filtering screen & polarized
glasses. for a one user desktop the wired
CrystalEYES are nice and
light (...and inexpensive).
- make sure your system (graphics) are in the correct configuration.
under windows NT settings may require reboot unfortunately.
- run a program that supports stereo. (i.e. TGS's OpenInventor SceneViewer)
