On the web I found a pov-file that makes a stereoscopic camera and
produces two pictures: one for the left eye, one for the right one. It
works. I think it is at www.geocities.com/SoHo/Gallery/2006/

The option is -vfx and works in at least Descent I and I think Descent
II (I don't have them installed right now). It is not a cross eye but
rather diverge eyes. There is a method described in the readme on how
to make a simple device (no optics just some paper/cartboard) which
makes visualizing such 3D much easier.

Yeah, but then how will you keep an eye on your health/armor? :)

I've seen LCD shutter glasses for sale here, in the range of about DEM
100. Whether they were Cybermax or not I cannot tell, but I seem to
associate all such glasses with that name (as it's the only one that I
know :) ). The ones I played with may have been another brand, I have
no idea, but Descent suported them. Might have even been an OEM
version of Descent (one such thing came with my ViRGE "3D").

The only other 3D glasses I know of come with the Formac
ProFormance3(with a processor named Permedia). I don't know if there is
a PC version, but there is a 3D accelerator with 16MB RAM and CyberPro
3D glasses for $369.
Ever hear of this one?

Chris, I am talking of stuff that was out as far back as 1995. There
were no 3D accelerators for the PC back then. Helmets, glasses and
such were almost sci-fi back then. Anyway, never mind.

I didn't realize it until I encountered this that when I was a kid and the
family went to a restaurant (not a real fancy kind) every month or so I
picked up on the repetitive pattern in the tabletop, you know those kind
with smallish modern art designs in them (60's era)? Well it made me
remember how I was staring into the table and this same effect happened and
from then on I was always trying to convince everyone else I was seeing
something strange. Needless to say looking back on it the parents were
probably wondering what was wrong with me. All I recall is how they would
try and say that yeah the pattern in the tabletop was interesting. Think I
went back to the usual sort of thing of finding shapes and such in the
patterns in the usual way eventually.
Funny though how I never had a comparison to be able to remember that right
until I saw this effect in tiled patterns on the computer screen.

I made my own pov stereoviewer quite a while ago too, just guessed at the
construction but I ended up with double pairs of mirrors angled a little
more and less than 45 degrees. The renders using it to make the stereo
pairs was slow and camera field of view is constrained a lot that way,
although I did work out enough of a adjustability to suffice for average
scenes.
At least I ended up with a model of it so a rendering of itself was worth
the making ; )

I used to do the same thing. Any small repeated pattern was subject of
an intensive session of relaxed staring. The best was my (5th grade?) math
book. It had a multiple exposure of some bouncing balls on the cover and of
you chose two and got them to line up they would rise out of the page.
My friends thought I was nuts... they still do... but then I still do
that trick. In fact I have some small tile-able backgrounds that I put on my
desktop just for such things. If you choose the right ones your Icons seem
to float about an inch above your screen. Unfortunately, if you
look -right-at- your Icons, they pop back to the surface. I keep threatening
to make some Icons that have some stereo properties so that they can float
while I am looking at them but I never have gotten around to it.
