This Stereo mode works with cheap polarization glasses (the same as those you wear in a cinema when watching 3D movies like "Avatar") and requires a special monitor which has alternatingly polarized horizontal lines. If e.g. the odd lines of the monitor display the picture for the left eye, and the even lines display the picture for the right eye, the brain stitches the images together which results in the impression of a 3D scene.

Alternative manufacturers of polarization monitors are LG ("cinema 3D"), Philips ("easy 3D"), Toshiba ("3D natural") and Vizio ("3D").

The following describes specifically how to get this to work with coot on Mac OS X, but the instructions should be generalizable to linux and Windoze. The beauty of this is that it is platform-independent and apparently works with pretty much any hardware (PC, mac, etc) and operating system. | The following describes specifically how to get this to work with coot on Mac OS X, but the instructions should be generalizable to linux and Windoze.
