JPS 
Stereo
Viewer 1.0
and JPS MGL SteroViwer 1.0
- The Story
- I was looking for an program, which will be able to show JPS stereo-pictures
on my Fire GL 1000 Pro graphics card. I did not found such software. The
only one way how to activate the stereo mode of this card in some standard
way is to use OpenGL commands. The big advantage of the OpenGL is, that
it de facto standardized such an unusual thing like communication of graphic
card with LCD stereo glasses and HW page flipping.
- The drawback of this was, that OpenGL stero drivers exist for NT4 only.
Later I have written similar program whitch use SciTech MGL graphics library
and whitch works under WIN 95 as well.
- What is it ?
- JPS OpenGL Stereo Viewer is an program for viewing stereo images in
JPS format (left and right image in one JPG file). If you have an graphics
card with OpenGL drivers supporting stereo and LCD glasses, you will se
the image in 3D mode. If you do not, anaglyph mode for red-blue glasses
in implemented as well.
- JPS MGL Stereo Viewer does the same using SciTech MGL graphics lib.
- Available functions.
- OpenGL version:
- Switch left right image , zooming , stereo separation adjustment, anaglyph
conversion
- MGL version:
- Switch left right, automatic graphics resolution switch (replace zooming),
stereo separation adjustment
- Hardware requirement
- OpenGL version:
- Graphics card with drivers supporting OpenGl stereo commands (PFD_STEREO
in PIXELFORMATDESCRIPTOR and glDrawBuffer GL_BACK_LEFT GL_BACK_RIGHT) and
WIN 95 or NT 4. The program was tested with Diamond Fire GL 1000 Pro, drivers
for NT 4 and NuVisino 60GX glasses. If you do not have such an card the
anaglyph and separated left/right images could be observed.
- MGL version:
- Evry graphics card with VESA 2 or VESA 3 drivers and 8M mem. LCD glasses
with DIN-3, paraler port, serial port or blue line code synchronization.
Tested with WIN 95, ScitTech Display doctor 6.52 VESA drivers and hardware
as above.
