Stereo OpenGL in C++

OpenGL - Tue, 09/07/2010 - 13:02

Extending our free tutorial on Stereoscopic rendering in OpenGL, Binocularity.org has added a C++ version of our software alongside the existing Python download. Detailed instructions for compiling and running the software on a Windows PC are included. This new download supports anaglyph and shutter glasses modes for viewing the output on all types of 3D monitors and displays. The parallel and toed-in stereoscopic camera methods can now be compared directly as the C++ program supports hot-switching between them.
