StereoGraphics also has a head tracker which is shipped with a library which makes implementation a 10 minute job. Allows the viewer to examine on-screen objects from a hemisphere in front of the monitor. I have yet to use it so I don't know the details but if there are interested parties, I can dig up the docs and perhaps spend some time subjectively rating it. Oh, and StereoGraphics can modify their hardware to your specs. We have some glasses which are modified to go clear when looking away from the monitor for multiple viewing situations. And finally, no need to spend thousands on a 120Hz system if you already have one of the newer IRISes with the stereo-ready monitors. The LCD glasses which are common can run at 120Hz. Not sure if this has been mentioned here so please excuse any repetition.. --Peter
