<br>
I use VTK with a stereo projection system constantly. Drew’
Dolgert’s post is correct, you need to go into the advanced settings for
the video driver and enable stereo. You also need to set the video card in a
mode that simulates the crystal eyes hardware stereo that VTK’s stereo
function is designed for. I don’t know about Wildcat video cards, but on
nVidia Quadro cards, the mode is called “clone mode”. Both
projectors will display exactly the same thing, except the vtk render windows
will show left and right eye views respectively.<br>
<br>

</span></font><font size=2 face=Arial><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>You are thinking of showing stereo images by putting a
separate image on each screen yourself, but there is a more automatic way to do
it. The Wildcat II 5110 drivers have a setting to enable stereo, at least on
Windows and maybe on Linux. You need to go into the driver control and look
deep in the Advanced section. When you enable stereo in the driver, you also
have to tell VTK to ask OpenGL to display in stereo, and I think you have done the
right settings in VTK for that to work. Both video outputs from the display
adapter will show the same image most of the time, so you can no longer extend
your desktop to on the second display this way.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>You have included a call to StereoUpdate, and
I’m not sure what “StereoUpdate” does. It may not be
necessary. I haven’t done this in a year or two, and you used to be able
to use the regular Render() command once you enabled stereo in the render
window.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
