Hi,
I was experimenting with the anaglyph stereo rendering capabilities in GEM. Since GEM only supports red-green rendering i was trying to extend the source code, so red-blue glasses are supported (since they are much more commonly found for cheap prices on ebay).
I noticed however that the Sourceforge code does not compile on my Ubuntu box, while the Github version does. It could be useful to put a notice on the overview page that points to the Github repository.
Anyways, I have some feature Ideas about anaglyph rendering (banging [stereo 2( into [gemwin]). The idea is to extend the current functionality with support for red-cyan glasses. Another feature that may be handy is being able to dynamically change the distance between the two "eyes" at runtime. Right now I'm not sure how to implement these features the best way without breaking compatibility with old code. A simple solution would be to add another case (i.e. "stereo 4"). However this would lead to code duplication. Another idea is to add new setup messages to be banged into gemwin. These could look like this: [stereocolor RED CYAN(
This solution however would pollute the message namespace of [gemwin] and may be much more complicated to implement.
The adjustable eye width could be implemented like that: [stereowidth 0.5(
Since it would be nice if my code will be included into the official GEM repository I thought it would be better to ask in advance to prevent rewriting the code ;)
Best, Kilian F.
