PyMOL Users -- a New Product FYI:

For those in the market for a 3D stereo projecter, InFocus now makes a
portable active-stereo 3D projector called the DepthQ that works with
shutter-glasses and sells for just $3,995 USD.

We got a chance to try PyMOL on this device this last week and were
rather impressed.  The stereo image quality is great and it exhibits
noticably less ghosting than a CRT.  

Though the native resolution is only 800x600, 1024x768 compression is
supported and graphics look just fine at that resolution.  Though text
at 1024x768 is not as crisp as one might like, it is still legible.  

In my view, this projecter would be ideal for full-screen molecular
graphics presentations to small audiences in typical conference room
settings.  Since you may already have plenty of shutter-glasses for your
3D workstations, the DepthQ could be a zero-hassle, low-cost alternative
to a passive-stereo "geowall" setup for your project-group meetings.

Cheers,
Warren

PS. Special thanks to Lightspeed Design for loaning us a projector for
