[chimerax-users] Stereo view does not work with chimerax 1.4

[Tom Goddard]

There are other stereo modes described in the ChimeraX camera command documentation.

	https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/camera.html

The ChimeraX daily build has wall-eye and cross-eye stereo modes that need no special hardware.

That is for use with LCD shutter glasses and is a mode available only in workstation level graphics cards and drivers, for example Nvidia Quadro cards.  Intel graphics does not support the quad-buffered stereo needed for sequential stereo (LCD shutter glasses) as far as I know.
