Stereo Images
The two Silicon Graphic machines, loop and turn are equiped with hardware stereo emitters and glasses.
Please sign the log book before beginning, and please keep the screen clean.
Currently, only two modeling packages support hardware stereo, InsightII and Sybyl
Getting Started
- Turn on the emitter first (the small box on top of the monitor)
- Turn on the glasses (use the small black button on the side of the glasses)
Using the stereo glasses with InsightII
- Under the Session pull down menu, choose Stereo
- Click on the option Hardware stereo
- Click on Execute
- To go back to normal mode, choose Stereo under the Session pull down menu, and turn off Stereo_Mode
You will se the screen flicker and go into stereo mode.
Using the stereo glasses with SYBYL
- Click on the monitor icon
- It's on the menu bar on the left-hand side of the screen.
- Click on hardware stereo
- Position the curser at the top of the screen and click the mouse to drop the window that pops up
- Don't ask me what the window is for, I didn't write this software!
- Use F1 (the functuion key) to toggle the display into the foreground
- Use the icon that looks like 2 spiders separated by a dotted line to
adjust the stereo depth
- And now to return to normal mode
- Click on the monitor icon again
- Choose the TOP RIGHT button (trust me)
Finishing up
- Turn of the emitter.
- The stereo glasses will turn off automatically after 8 minutes as long as the emitter is turned off!
- Place the glasses in the protective (and attractive!) designer box after you are finished. They're delicate.
