StereoSample Readme.txt ("The manual")
======================================

- For developers:

  Read the source folks! ;-) 
  It also describes a rendering method for 
  passive vertical interlace stereo displays.
 
- For users: 

  StereoSample.exe is a simple standalone Windows Win32 application
  using OpenGL's quadbuffered stereo functionality if available. 

  It provides the information if a stereo capable OpenGL pixelformat
  has been found in an initial dialog box.
  If it doesn't find one, make sure you enabled the OpenGL quadbuffered
  stereo functionality inside the display driver's control panel.
 
  Just run 
      StereoSample.exe
  to start the application in windowed mode. 
 
  Start StereoSample.exe with the commandline parameter -fullscreen 
      StereoSample.exe -fullscreen 
  for a borderless fullscreen window of the size of the 
  primary adapter's desktop.

  Make sure your Windows' taskbar is not overlapping the 
  application's window (which would mean it's not fullscreen). 
  If it does overlap, set the taskbar's properties to
  "not topmost" and "autohide".
 
  Features:
  You can drag with the left and right mouse buttons pressed 
  inside the window to adjust the stereo separation and parallax 
  to your liking.
  By this you can move the object visually in and out of the screen.
  If you messed up the stereo effect, hit RETURN to restore the 
  defaults which look like the object is about half in and half out
  of the screen.


- Some history:
  My original source of this is about 10 years old.
  You can find original versions on StereoGraphics', now RealD's 
  developer tools download site as well:

  + "elsa_glorixl.zip" is the grandparent of this 
     (and only works with OpenGL implementations providing 
      two depth buffers in stereo pixelformats.
      Do not use that! It's not OpenGL spec conformant.)

  + "morph.zip" is a modified version to use the OpenGL spec conformant
     single depth buffer (it's almost the same as this StereoSample in 
     gold, and without fullscreen option).
