Summary/Abstract: This paper considers approaches for generating stereoscopic images by using the left and right video buffers of a quad-buffered graphics adapter. Sample OpenGL code is given for specifying camera projection to generate correct stereo pair images. The paper also shows how by using the outputs of a quad-buffered graphics adapter the stereo pairs can be displayed on different 3D capable display systems like monitors, 3D TVs and Power-wall projection systems. Example setups are presented and discussed.
