 For this stereo mode to work it is necessary to start Slicer4 from the command line and using the --stereo option (i.e. open a shell, cd into the folder containing the slicer executable and type ./Slicer --stereo). This is only required for CrystalEyes mode.  This option instructs 3D Slicer to configure a window using OpenGL Quad-buffered stereo.  If you have troubles with this mode, be sure you are using current drivers for the GPU .

+Slicer has the capability to display data in the 3D Viewer stereoscopically in a number of fashions including Red/Blue, Anaglyphic, Interlaced.  These rendering modes are automatically enabled.
-You have to start Slicer from command line and use the --stereo flag when using the CrystallEyes mode.
+The final mode, called ActiveStereo or CrystalEyes mode, requires special display hardware and is not enabled by default.  You have to start Slicer from command line and use the --stereo flag when using the ActiveStereo mode.  ActiveStereo mode is currently under development.

 '''CrystalEyes''' - This stereo mode is named after the famous, legacy glasses now sold by RealD (please see the products at the following website: http://www.reald.com/Content/Crystal-Eyes-5.aspx ).  This mode is also sometimes called '''"active stereo"''' or '''"frame sequential stereo"'''.   In this mode, successive video frames alternate between the left and right eyes as time progresses.  A pair of special goggles or a special display route the signals to one eye or the other in quick succession.  As long as the framerate is fast enough so the user doesn't see excessive flicker, this is a convincing rendering approach.  However, this algorithm makes the most demands on the computing and display systems of all stereo options.   Only some GPUs can produce active stereo, as support for OpenGL quad-buffered stereo mode is required.  CrystalEyes rendering with 3D Slicer has been tested successfully on NVIDIA FX 1500, FX 4600, and FX 5600 GPUs, though these are not the only GPUs which are capable of frame sequential stereo.The display device (panel, projector, CRT, etc.) attached to the workstation must also be able to handle frame sequential stereo modes as well.  Not all display devices support this rendering mode.
