- How well does GEM support stereo viewing?
right now, there are 2 stereo-modes in Gem, anaglyph (e.g. red/green) and one with 2 separate sub-windows (both in one "real" window).
Having two subwindows would work; the graphics hardware in the PORTAL supports both twin mode and quad mode. The subwindow option would work in twin mode. A quad option would be great to have, but twin will do.
btw, the multiple_window feature could likely be what you need for a cave-like situation. in theory you could have one instance of Gem on one master-computer, and several slave-renderers (via remote windows) this would (right now) only work under linux and i am pretty sure that you could not deal with large textures.
This sounds interesting, but I'm a bit worried here. When you say 'remote windows', do you mean X forwarding? My experience is that X forwarding in the PORTAL slows things down quite a bit. Best, Peter
