Christian, I think it would be great to continue this discussion on CCP4bb, especially as we learn more about all the new stereo-capable display products now hitting the market. It would be even more wonderful if a few volunteers could monitor this discusson and then summarize their distilled knowledge to a community web page specifically geared toward stereo 3D display options for molecular visualization. Although www.stereo3d.com exists, it is too general, cluttered, and overwhelming...
So in order to make this as painless and likely to succeed as possible, I have just created a Stereo 3D Display Options page on the public PyMOL Wiki, and seeded with some headings and links: <http://pymolwiki.org/index.php/Stereo_3D_Display_Options> Note that to edit the page, you will need a PyMOLWiki account which can be obtained via the link below: <http://pymolwiki.org/index.php?title=Special:Userlogin&type=signup> Cheers, Warren > -----Original Message----- > From: CCP4 bulletin board [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > Christian RAUSCH > Sent: Wednesday, September 17, 2008 12:14 PM > To: CCP4BB@JISCMAIL.AC.UK > Subject: [ccp4bb] available Stereo 3D LCD monitors / Linux compatibility > > Dear all, > > I would like to continue the discussion on the availability of 3D-LCD > monitors that work with Linux or Mac (started in the discussion > "Progresss with Stereo 3D under Mac OS X Leopard"). > > (We do have a running stereo capable system with Linux-PC & SGI-CTR- > monitor & CrystalEyes.) > > Now we are seeking a 3D-LCD monitor that work with Linux (or Mac). > > Is there anyone using a good, affordable 3D-LCD monitor? > > > Here's what I've found so far: > > dti3d.com 19" 3D LCD (3,695 US$) works officially with linux, pymol, coot. > (I'm in contact with a Munich based salesman, I'll keep you updated) > > Cheaper but apparently not working with Linux /Mac (?)
